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.
Misdemeanor Crimes. A misdemeanor is considered a less serious crime. Most states and the federal government classify a crime thatâs punishable by less than one year in prison as a misdemeanor. Some states consider a misdemeanor as any crime thatâs punishable only by fine or a small length of time in jail.f a misdemeanor is considered a very minor offense, such as jaywalking, the crime may be classified as a petty offense. Thereâs a wide variety of crimes that are considered misdemeanors in most states. Some common misdemeanors include: 1  Public intoxication. 2  Trespassing. 3  Speeding.
