Posted on October 24th, 2007 by Administrator
Many people are curious about what the fines and costs are for misdemeanors in Arkansas. The fines and costs are as follows*:
- Class C Misdemeanors- Fine not exceeding $100, and up to 30 days in jail.
- Class B Misdemeanors- Fine not exceeding $500, and up to 90 days in jail.
- Class A Misdemeanors- Fine not exceeding $1,000, and up to 1 year in jail.
See A.C.A. 5-4-201 and 5-4-401.
*There are such things as “unclassified misdemeanors” that have varying levels of punishment. Also, in addition to fines and costs, many misdemeanors have extra punishments individual to the specific charge. (ex: driver’s license suspension, sex offender registration, etc.)
