Criminal Mischief 2nd Degree Felony corresponds to which damage range?

• A. Causes damage of $300,000 or more
• B. Causes damage of $150,000 but less than $300,000
• C. Causes damage of $2,500 but less than $30,000
• D. Causes damage of $100 but less than $750

Answer: (B)

Criminal Mischief terms escalate with how much damage is done to someone else’s property. The second-degree felony applies when the damage falls within a specific middle range. Specifically, damage between $150,000 and less than $300,000 meets that level, so the offense is classified as a second-degree felony.

This means if the damage were at least $300,000, it would be a first-degree felony, and if it were substantially less (for example, under $150,000), it would fall into a lower category. The other ranges listed do not fit the second-degree bracket, which is why the range of $150,000 to less than $300,000 is the correct match for a second-degree felony.
