    What is the Punishment for Damage to Property
    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Wisconsin

    My fiancé was charged with Damage of Property. The Type: Forf. U Statute: 39.35(A) of Sauk County. Police arrested him and told him he had a warrant out for his arrest (We were an hour away from Sauk County where we both live) which both of us were surprised about. I wasn't there, but heard from his friend. Its super important to me to figure out how long until i'm seeing him again and I've done a lot of research and didn't find what I wanted. Please help!!

    So he is most definitely getting a fine, but he shouldn't be more than 9 months im pretty sure.

    No jail time is possible. Wisconsin has three kinds of offenses: felonies, misdemeanors, and forfeitures (other states would likely call them infractions/violations). Forfeitures in Wisconsin do not carry any possibility of jail time; just merely a fine (and points on a driving record, if applicable).
