A: The maximum penalties are outlined below:
- Felony 1 = 10-20 years
- Felony 2 = 5-10 years
- Felony 3 = 3 ½ - 7 years
- Misdemeanor 1 = 2 ½ - 5 years
- Misdemeanor 2 = 1 – 2 years
- Misdemeanor 3 = 6 months – 1 year
However, most people do not receive the maximum penalties as outlined above. The actual sentence a person will receive if convicted depends upon many factors such as a person’s prior criminal history, mental health issues, their age, employment history, drug dependency issues and level of remorse just to name a few.
