Intoxication Assault is committed when a person, while intoxicated, causes serious bodily injury to another by which means?

• A. Operating a motor vehicle in a public place
• B. Operating an aircraft, watercraft, or amusement ride
• C. Both A and B
• D. None of the above

Answer: (C)

Intoxication Assault hinges on being intoxicated and causing serious bodily injury to someone while using a dangerous conveyance. The statute covers more than just cars: if, while intoxicated, you cause serious bodily injury by accident or while operating a motor vehicle in a public place, you’re committing intoxication assault. It also includes operating an aircraft, a watercraft, or an amusement ride. So either of those means can satisfy the statute, not just one. That’s why the best answer is the option that combines both means.
