Misdemeanor Crimes in Kentucky

Depending on the circumstances of your arrest and the specifics of your case, the penalties you are facing may vary. Additionally, misdemeanors could always potentially hold the capability of being escalated to a felony offense, which is why you should always work with an attorney who will aggressively defend and protect your case. 

A misdemeanor in Kentucky is a criminal offense that is less severe than a felony but still carries significant penalties. A misdemeanor is typically punishable by fines, probation, or jail time of up to one year, served in a county or local jail rather than a state prison. Kentucky classifies misdemeanors into two categories: Class A and Class B.

• Class A Misdemeanors: These are the most serious misdemeanors and can result in up to 12 months in jail and fines of up to $500. Common examples include DUI, possession of marijuana, and assault in the fourth degree.
• Class B Misdemeanors: These carry lighter penalties, with jail time of up to 90 days and fines of up to $250. Examples include harassment and trespassing.

Even though misdemeanors are less serious than felonies, they still carry long-term consequences, such as a criminal record, that can affect employment, housing, and other aspects of your life. If you are charged with a misdemeanor in Kentucky, it’s important to consult with an experienced criminal defense attorney to understand your rights and options for defense.
