    It depends on the value of the damage and the laws of your un-named state.

    That's a felony pursuant to PC 594(b)(1).

    Is there any way to knock that down. I already said i would pay for the damages but this happened over a year ago and in only to the estimates within the last two months. I got laid off just after receiving the estimates and am just now able to pay. I was looking to join the armed forces but with a felony that wont happen.

    I'd recommend getting an attorney and see if you can do a negotiated plea. Restitution is important in these cases so if you can pay restitution especially in a lump sum up front this often goes a long way in getting the charge reduced to a misdemeanor or a possible type of disposition which may keep the charge off your record.
