"A"
Yes, public intoxication is a Class C Misdemeanor (same category as a speeding ticket), except it looks worse on your record. It is punishable by a fine of up to $500 and usually requires 4-12 hours in jail at the time of the incident.
in Ohio a misdemeanor 1 is the worst and a 4 is the lightest
Each jurisdiction defines crimes differently. It would depend on the jurisdiction.
It's the lowest misdemeanor. When you break the law it's categorized into Class A B and C felonies, and Class A B C D and E misdemeanors. Felonies are worse than misdemeanors and receive more punishment. A class E misdemeanor will most likely result in a fine and some community service. Probation will most likely be 6 months to a year but the Probation Officer will most likely let you finish early since it is not a serious offense. But you if you break any laws while on probation it is mandatory jail time.
How do you explain misdemeanor assault charge on a job application without making yourself look even worse?
For a Class A Felony, the penalty is imprisonment for life; however, for a repeat offender, the term of imprisonment may increase up to 2 years if the person was previously convicted of one or more misdemeanors, and up to 6 years if the person was previously convicted for a felony. For a Class C Felony, the penalty is a fine of up to $100,000, or imprisonment of up to 40 years, or both; however, for a repeat offender, the term of imprisonment may increase up to 2 years with prior misdemeanor convictions, and up to 6 years with a prior felony conviction. To answer your question a Class A felon is worse
They are both misdemeanor offenses.
No
Yes.
yes i would especially if you are over eighteen in Texas theft over 49.99 is a class b misdemeanor first offense and if convicted there is fine and jail time but worst a permanent record for your future employer to see. i hate saying this but petty theft looks alot worse to employers especially in retail.or any other business that makes up their mind based on some ones record.

Hi, I'm not a Lawyer but i can tell you that an M1 is actually worse than an M4. I believe an M4 is the lowest possible Misdemeanor. so I'm not sure an M4 can be lowered. I would think it would be thrown out of court instead of lowered. Thanks, John
