A criminal citation (much like a traffic ticket) requires that you respond to court to answer charges that you committed a low level criminal offense. You could be found not guilty, or be found guilty and fined or receive a minor jail term.

A criminal mischief citation typically charges a person with damaging or interfering with the property of another individual or entity. This citation notifies the individual of the charge against them and may require them to appear in court to address the issue. If found guilty, the individual may face penalties such as fines, restitution, or even jail time.

Can you file for criminal mischief in small claims court?

No. Criminal mischief is a crime (as far as i know its a misdemeanor, but it could be a felony somewhere). Being that it is a crime it goes to a criminal court. Small claims court is for civil disputes, typically for claims under $2,000. Only your state/county/local law enforcement can take someone to court for criminal mischief. Now say the 'criminal mischief' was something that caused damage to you or your property, then you can file a suit in small claims court for the cost of damages. You just need to be able to prove what it cost(s) to fix these losses.
