Misdemeanor Offenses
Misdemeanors are classified as less serious crimes, typically resulting in a maximum jail sentence of one year. These include various offenses such as traffic violations. The District Court where the offense occurred is responsible for handling these cases. While some misdemeanors may carry penalties exceeding one year, they are processed similarly to felonies. Notably, drunk driving is categorized as a criminal offense rather than merely a traffic violation.
Felony Offenses
Felony offenses are the most serious category of criminal offenses and are punishable by more than one year in prison.
In felony cases involving people 17 years or older, the District Court located where the offense occurred typically handles the initial stages of arraignment on the complaint and the preliminary examination. If the District Court finds sufficient evidence, the case is bound over or transferred to the Circuit Court. The Circuit Court then typically handles the case after it’s bound over.
Note: Misdemeanors and felonies involving people under 17 years of age are usually handled as juvenile delinquency cases in the Family Division of the Circuit Court where the minor resides. In some situations, the charge may be handled the same as an adult charge.
