The very word "misdemeanor" carries with it a connotation that it is less serious or nothing to worry about. Misdemeanor offenses, of which there are many, can send you to jail for up to one year and possibly fine you up to $2500.00 dollars! These offenses can range from physical assaults and battery, drug charges to retail theft and business related offenses. It is not uncommon for a person to go about life and be caught in a situation and before they know it, they have been arrested and charged with a misdemeanor offense. Because these charges are less glamorous and sometimes thought of as less serious, it is not uncommon for complicated situations where no party, be it citizens or the police, are clearly in the right. However, it is from these situations that many people find themselves charged.
