Misdemeanor

A misdemeanor is a less severe criminal act, normally punished less than felonies, but more than infractions, or “regulatory offenses.” Most misdemeanors are punishable with monetary fines. Examples of misdemeanors are prostitution, public intoxication, disorderly conduct, vandalism, trespass, drug possession, reckless driving, and petty theft.
