​
What are Felony and Misdemeanor Offenses?
In North Carolina, criminal offenses are classified into felonies and misdemeanors, with felonies carrying more severe penalties. Understanding the difference is crucial when facing criminal charges:
​
-
Felony Charges: Felonies are the most serious criminal offenses and can result in long prison sentences, substantial fines, and permanent criminal records. Common felony charges include drug trafficking, assault with a deadly weapon, armed robbery, murder, and rape. The penalties can vary depending on the degree of the felony, but a felony conviction can severely impact your future.
-
Misdemeanor Charges: Misdemeanors are less serious offenses, but they can still lead to criminal penalties such as fines, probation, and up to one year in jail. Examples of misdemeanor offenses include petty theft, simple assault, drunk driving (DUI/DWI), and disorderly conduct. While misdemeanors are less severe than felonies, they can still affect your criminal record and future opportunities.
