Penalties for Misdemeanor Offenses in Michigan
Although a lesser crime than a felony, a misdemeanor conviction may still result in serious criminal penalties: imprisonment in county jail, heavy fines, driver's license suspension, community service, alcohol/drug treatment or rehabilitation, probation, and possibly more. The extent of these penalties and whether charges may escalate to a felony may vary depending on a number of factors:
- The offense itself
- The extent of injury, if any, a victim suffered
- The use of a deadly weapon
- Where the offense occurred (i.e. on federal property, private property, at a school, etc.)
- The defendant's intent in committing the offense
- The defendant's criminal record, if any
