Misdemeanor and felony offenses encompass a wide range of crimes and occur under varying circumstances. The primary differences between the classes are the potential penalties. Generally, misdemeanors are punished by 90 days in jail and a fine, while felonies are punished with a minimum of 1 year in jail and greater fines.
