I'll have you up on aggravated assault If yes, do they mean that I'll charge somebody with aggravated assault/hindering prosecution ?   Thanks !

	MrPedantic  +  691871 Sat, 28 Mar 09 11:53 AM Hello MrP, The structure is indeed "I'll have you up on (a charge of) XYZ". In the first example, I would be more inclined to say "obstructing the police in their enquiries".
