Strangulation in non-domestic situations is a Category C felony under Nevada law. The potential penalties include 1 to 5 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000. However, If the battery by strangulation is committed while wielding a deadly weapon, it is considered a Category B felony, and the consequences are greater. For a Category B felony, you will be facing 2 to 15 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
