Yes, it is possible for someone to be arrested on charge A, and the prosecuting authority decides to file a different charge after a review of the evidence believed to exist at that time. It doesn't take much contact at all to establish a battery in addition to an assault. If you do not already have counsel, it is time to obtain counsel. Few need counsel more than someone who is wrongfully accused.
