Criminal Mischief State Jail Felony corresponds to which damage range?

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

Answer: (B)

The amount of property damage drives what level of offense is charged. For a state jail felony in criminal mischief, the damage must be between $2,500 and less than $30,000. That’s why the option stating $2,500 but less than $30,000 is the correct one. Damages below that range are charged as lesser offenses, and damages at $30,000 or more are charged as more serious felonies, so the other ranges don’t fit the state jail felony category.
