MISDEMEANORS &
TRAFFIC TICKETS

With definitions varying by jurisdiction, in South Carolina misdemeanors are minor crimes potentially punishable by fines, incarceration of up to 36 months, restitution, community service, court-ordered treatment or a combination of any and all the above. 

MORE ON MISDEMEANORS

Common offenses include minor drug possession, petty theft or shoplifting, public intoxication, vandalism, trespassing, resisting arrest, simple assault or battery, and lower sex crimes, such as indecent exposure or prostitution. 

 

A misdemeanor charge may carry jail time up to three years, thousands of dollars in fines, hours of required service, and potentially permanent marks on your criminal record. Despite being categorized as minor criminal offenses, misdemeanors may have lifelong personal and professional consequences.
