Re: Felony OR Misdemeanor

I can't tell you what the fine or punishment will be as all criminal cases are dealt with based on the circumstances of the arrest, teh defendant's prior record, etc. I can tell you however that this particular charge carries up to 90 days in jail and a fine of a couple hundred up to around a thousand dollars. The reason I am so vague on the fine is because these two depend on the particular case. This charge is a misdemeanor.
