What are the Different Types of Misdemeanors in Michigan?
A misdemeanor crime in Michigan is less serious in comparison with a felony. In general, misdemeanor crimes are distinguished from felonies by the seriousness of injury inflicted on another individual, the monetary value of property taken, or the amount of illegal drugs in a person’s possession and whether there is evidence of intent to sell or distribute the drugs.
The following are the three classes of misdemeanors in Michigan:
- Misdemeanor punishable by up to 93 days in jail and a fine of up to $500
- Misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $1,000
- High court misdemeanors (which are punishable by up to two years in prison and a fine of up to $2,000)
