Curly had already taken action because he had Larry arrested for slapping him.

Explanation: You can go to jail if you slap someone. Slapping someone is what we call a battery. A battery is an “offensive touching”. The name of the charge can vary by jurisdiction. It could be assault and battery, for example. The level of the charge will depend on the circumstances. If you slap someone hard enough that they fall down and hit their heads, ending up in the hospital, your charges will be more serious than if it is just a light slap. If you slap someone else’s child, you could end up charged with some sort of crime related to children. If you slap an elderly person in your care, you could be charged with elder abuse. In some jurisdictions, you probably can get in trouble for slapping your own child.

Assuming you are slapping another adult and didn’t do much harm, in Pennsylvania you would be charged with a simple assault. (It is not used the term battery for this issue in PA). The penalty for simple assault is up to 2 years in jail. You can also be fined. You can. Slapping someone is what we call a battery. A battery is an “offensive touching”.
