Types of Criminal Charges in Florida
In the state of Florida, there are two main classifications of crimes: felonies and misdemeanors. Depending on which category you charge falls into, your punishments will be more or less severe.
A misdemeanor is the less serious of the two. The maximum penalty for committing a misdemeanor is a fine of $1000 and/or up to a year in jail. Depending on the charge, an individual may be responsible for paying a fine, doing a year or less of jail time, or both.
Examples of misdemeanors include:
- Domestic Violence
- Petit Theft
- DUI
- Battery
- Possession of Marijuana
- Resisting Arrest
A felony is a serious crime punishable by more than a year in prison and serious court fines and costs. Whereas people charged with a misdemeanor go to county jail, those convicted of a felony must do time in state prison.
Examples of felonies include:
- Burglary
- Arson
- Kidnapping
- Murder
- Rape
- Sale of illegal drugs
