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.
The charges are listed on the citation or complaint and summons you will have received. The penalty will be based on what you are charged with. A Class 1 misdemeanor charge is punishable by up to one year in the county jail and/or a $2000 fine. A Class 2 misdemeanor is punishable by up to 30 days in the county jail and/or a $500 fine. All fines are due and payable on the day you are sentenced.
