Mississippi Vandalism Penalties


Bear in mind, it’s “malicious mischief” in Mississippi. Here’s what the law says:
Everyone that maliciously or mischievously damages or disfigures any type of property of another, either real or personal, shall be guilty of malicious mischief.

Suppose the worth of the residential or commercial property ruined or disfigured is $1,000.00 or less. In that case, it’s a misdemeanor punishable by a penalty of not more than $1,000.00 or jail time in the county prison not surpassing a year. It can be both if the court sees compelling reasons why the wrongdoer can’t be securely and efficiently supervised in the community, is not open to community-based treatment, or presents a considerable risk to public safety. If that’s not the situation, the court will put on hold the sentence of jail time and enforce a period of probation not going beyond one year, a fine of not greater than $ 1,000, or both.

Anybody convicted of a 3rd or succeeding offense where the value of the property is not less than $500 shall be locked up for a term not exceeding 3 years or fined an amount not going beyond $ 1,000, or both.
If the value of the residential or commercial property damaged or disfigured is over $1,000 yet less than $ 5,000, it’s a felony punishable by a fine not surpassing $10,000.00, jail time not exceeding 5 years, or both. If the property’s worth is $5,000 or even more but less than $25,000, it’s punishable by a fine of not more than $10,000 or imprisonment not going beyond 10 years, or both.
If the residential or commercial property’s value is $25,000 or more, it’s punishable by a penalty of not more than $ 10,000 or imprisonment not surpassing 20 years, or both.

In all cases, there is restitution to the victim for damages. The worth of property destroyed or disfigured might be accumulated together, and if the worth surpasses $ 1,000, after that it’s a felony charge.

Working with the Big Man is a must to stay clear of dealing with optimal penalties, and he’s always ready to head to trial.
