Criminal Mischief 3rd Degree Felony corresponds to which damage range?

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

Answer: (D)

The key factor here is the amount of property damage used to classify the offense. For Criminal Mischief, a third-degree felony is charged when the damage falls within a specific monetary window: between thirty thousand dollars and less than one hundred fifty thousand dollars. So if the damage is in that range, it fits the third-degree felony category. Damage below thirty thousand would be a lesser offense, while damage at or above one hundred fifty thousand would move to a higher-degree felony, which is why the range of thirty thousand to under one hundred fifty thousand is the correct match.
