Statute of Limitations for Misdemeanor Crimes in Tennessee
One important thing to keep in mind when it comes to criminal charges is the statute of limitations, which is the period of time during which the prosecution must bring forward the case and usually begins from the date the crime occurs. Under Tenn. Code Ann. § 40-2-102, most misdemeanors have a 1-year statute of limitations. After the 1-year period, the court will be unlikely to hear the case.
Class A, B, C Misdemeanors
Class B misdemeanors are punishable by up to 6 months in jail and/or a fine of up to $500. Examples of Class B misdemeanors are:
Lastly, Class C misdemeanors are punishable by a maximum of 30 days in jail and/or up to $50 in fines. Instances of Class C misdemeanors could be:

certain drug possession and distribution crimes;

An experienced attorney can better clarify Tennessee’s expungement process and help you determine your eligibility for expungement.
