A car and a pencil are both possible sources of Assault With a Deadly Weapon charge.
By the way for those who don't know: you don't have to actually touch someone to be charged with Assault. In some places even cussing somebody out will get you Assault charges. It very much depends on the COP and Prosecutor in every case.

It depends on the state. You don't erase a charge or conviction, you petition to have your rights restored. Some states don't have a process for that though, or it is incredibly difficult.
