Idaho doesn't have such a statute. An "assault" is the reasonable fear of a "battery." A "battery" is an "unlawful touching." If you touch another person against their will, you may be charged with "battery." If you use an automobile to... View More

A money judgment in Idaho must be renewed every five (5) years and then can only be renewed 3 times. If the creditor continues to try and collect, see if they have renewed their money judgment. If they've renewed it correctly, then it looks like you're only a few years from outliving... View More
