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.
Definition. A misdemeanor crime is one in which the offense, and the effects of the offense, is less than a felony. It is usually punishable by up to 12 months in a county jail, payment of court costs and fines, or both. misdemeanor arrest warrant may be served at any time of the day and at any place, except when the suspect is either at home or otherwise not in public. In such a case, the warrant may not be served between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. unless it specifies night service..
