Misdemeanor crimes can be either class 1, class 2, or class 3 misdemeanors. Misdemeanors are handled by county courts.
A class 1 misdemeanor is the most serious and is punishable by six to eighteen months in jail. However, should the class 1 misdemeanor be classified as an “extraordinary risk offense”, the maximum penalty goes up to two years in the county jail.
