What is the punishment for criminal mischief charges, first offense? What is the worst that can happen?
Criminal mischief is a third degree felony in Florida. The maximum prison sentence for a third degree felony is five years.
It is not likely that you will get anything close to the maximum for a first offense, but the facts of the offense can affect the probability of incarceration.
You should consult a criminal defense lawyer about the charge, possible defenses, and possible dispositions, including any dispositions that might allow you to avoid conviction.
