For Criminal Mischief, a damage between $750 and $2,500 falls under which classification?

• A. Class A Misdemeanor
• B. Class C Misdemeanor
• C. Class B Misdemeanor
• D. State Jail Felony

Answer: (C)

Criminal Mischief is categorized by how much damage is done to property, and the level rises as the damage amount increases. A damage range of 750 to 2,500 sits in the mid-range, which the statute assigns to a Class B Misdemeanor. That means it’s more serious than the smallest, most minor cases but not enough to reach a higher misdemeanor or a felony level. The typical penalties for a Class B Misdemeanor include up to 180 days in jail and a fine up to $2,000, with possible restitution to the victim. If the damage were higher or other factors applied, the offense could escalate to a higher class or a State Jail Felony, but this 750–2,500 range fits Class B.
