The following are from State Correctional Facilities in Attica and were in Wyoming County Court before Judge Michael Mohun March 29. Jerry McLamore was found guilty during a bench trial of promoting prison contraband in the first degree, a Class D felony, and conspiracy in the fifth degree, a Class A misdemeanor.
By law (Florida statute 941), the state may extradite a person charged with a âcrimeâ in Florida, whether it is a felony or misdemeanor. So even though a DUI charge is a first degree misdemeanor in Florida, extradition is still possible if the state chooses to do so. Extradition cases, however, can be extremely time consuming and costly. As a result, the state of Florida rarely attempts to extradite a person for misdemeanor offenses, including DUI.
Common misdemeanor crimes include DUI (driving under the influence), petty theft, driving without a license, disorderly conduct and trespassing. Some violent crimes such as assault, battery, vandalism, and public fighting may also be considered misdemeanors. The following is a list of misdemeanors crimes in New York (charges may vary by state). Misdemeanor charges are less serious than felony class crimes and if charges are not dropped, the punishment may range from probation, fines, community service, or a sentence of up to one year in county jail.
