Classes of Misdemeanors

1. Class C Misdemeanors 
2. Class B Misdemeanors
3. Class A Misdemeanors

Range of Punishment

1. Class C Misdemeanors are generally prosecuted at the municipal court and usually involve only a fine. 
2. Class B Misdemeanors are prosecuted in the County Courts and in most cases have a range of punishment of $0 - $2000.00 fine and 0 – 180 days jail. All of which can be probated.
3. Class A Misdemeanors are also prosecuted in the County Courts and have fines that range from $0 - $4000.00 and 0 – 1 year jail. All of which can be probated.
4. DWI offenses have punishment ranges that vary from the standard Class A or Class B ranges. Also the punishment ranges are increased if there was an open container of alcohol in the car or if it is a second DWI.

Common Misdemeanors

Common Class C misdemeanors include: theft of less than $50.00, offensive touching, littering and speeding.

Common Class B misdemeanors include: theft of $50.00 to $500.00, graffiti if the pecuniary loss is less than $500.00, criminal mischief if the damage is from $50.00-$500.00, possession of marihuana of less than 2 oz., and DWI 1st.

Common Class A misdemeanors include: trespass of a habitation, theft of less than $1500.00 but more than $500.00, unlawfully carrying a weapon, possession of marihuana of less than 4 oz. but more than 2 oz., burglary of a vehicle, and DWI 2nd.

Collateral Consequences

A final misdemeanor conviction has consequences other than just the fine and probationary period. As an example: a final conviction for possession of marihuana will result in the suspension of your driver’s license; a theft conviction is a crime of moral turpitude which will be used to attack your credibility and will also result in the exclusion from some professions, and a DWI conviction will result in higher insurance costs. This is not meant to be a complete list of all of the consequences of a conviction but only a small sample of the collateral consequences.
