Probably not, but the definition varies from state to state. In some places theft of as little as $100 can result in felony charges, but $500 is more the norm now. A misdemeanor is a minor crime such as vagrancy, simple assault, and trespassing. A felony is a major crime such as murder, rape, armed robbery, kidnapping and arson.
