The following are from State Correctional Facilities in Attica and were in Wyoming County Court before Judge Michael Mohun March 29. Jerry McLamore was found guilty during a bench trial of promoting prison contraband in the first degree, a Class D felony, and conspiracy in the fifth degree, a Class A misdemeanor.
By law (Florida statute 941), the state may extradite a person charged with a âcrimeâ in Florida, whether it is a felony or misdemeanor. So even though a DUI charge is a first degree misdemeanor in Florida, extradition is still possible if the state chooses to do so. Extradition cases, however, can be extremely time consuming and costly. As a result, the state of Florida rarely attempts to extradite a person for misdemeanor offenses, including DUI.
If the crime you reported was a misdemeanor, you can be charged with a misdemeanor. If you falsely reported a felony, you may be charged with a felony. If the report is a false report of a misdemeanor, Misdemeanor false reporting carries a potential sentence of up to 93 days in jail and/or a fine of up to $500. If the report is a false report of a felony, Felony false reporting carries a possible sentence of up to 4 years in prison and a fine of up to $2,000.
