Sentence checking

Hi,

Could you tell me if this sentences are correct and make sense ?

1. I'll have you up on hindering procecution

2. I'll have you up on aggravated assault

If yes, do they mean that I'll charge somebody with aggravated assault/hindering prosecution ?

Thanks !

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". Best wishes, MrP

Hello Anon,

Yes, "to have someone up for something" is a good idiom.

Good luck with the course!
