A 4th Degree Misdemeanor is a classification of a crime in the state of Ohio. The maximum punishment that can be issued for an offense classified as such is:
The most serious form of misdemeanor offense. It is punishable by fine and up to one year in a county (as opposed to a state) correctional facility and by other penalties, as provided by law.
The definition varies from state to state. You would have to read the criminal code for the state in question. In general, this would be a pretty low level crime, shop lifting or petty theft.
Regardless of the state a misdemeanor is a misdemeanor. A misdemeanor can be punished with NOT MORE than one year in jail.
Terroristic threatening in the third degree is a Class A misdemeanor which is punishable by imprisonment for up to, but no greater than, 12 months.
