 Misdemeanor Charges in South Carolina

Misdemeanor charges are less severe than felony charges in terms of the possible penalties. However, they can still cause serious damage to your life and future. Misdemeanors are still punishable with fines, probation, community service, or imprisonment in a county jail for up to one year. Misdemeanors are generally divided into four categories: Class A, Class B, Class C, and Exempt.

Examples of misdemeanor crimes include:

• Marijuana possession
• Driving under the influence
• Simple assault
• Simple battery
• Shoplifting
• Simple possession
• Reckless driving
• Receiving stolen property
• Probation violations

Class A misdemeanors come with sentences up to 3 years’ imprisonment, plus fines and other penalties associated with specific charges. Class B misdemeanors are punishable with up to two years in jail, and Class C misdemeanors are punishable with up to a year in jail. Repeated offenses could lead to misdemeanors being charged as felonies.
