Criminal Misdemeanor in North Carolina

A few examples of misdemeanor criminal offenses in NC are Driving While Licensed Revoked, Simple Assault, Trespassing, Simple Drug Possession, etc. Some crimes can be considered a misdemeanor or a felony, such as a DWI or Traffic Offense, and the seriousness of the situation will determine what it is charged as. While a misdemeanor will typically carry a smaller sentencing, it does not mean you are always off the hook regarding jail time. Misdemeanors are broken up into classes in North Carolina, and each of these classes can carry different punishments.

Misdemeanors will often involve financial costs as well as supervised and unsupervised probation. Probation can include drug testing, mental evaluation and mandatory monthly meetings with a probation officer. These types of punishments are often left up to the discretion of a judge to decide. For those that are first time offenders, they may be allowed to enter into a deferred prosecution agreement in which they must adhere to certain guidelines such as taking an alcohol education program. After the time they are ordered to carry out these conditions is over, they will return to court. If they have completed all of the steps they were told to finish, then their case will be dismissed by the district attorney.
