Ridiculous.
However, the reason it was a felony (I am guessing) is because the victim is a police officer doing her duty.
In PA at least, where I practice, if you commit a simple assault like this, it's a misdemeanor, but if it's against an officer while on duty, it automatically becomes a felony.
This will be negotiated down, I am sure.
