Misdemeanor Offenses

Misdemeanor offenses are less serious than felonies, but more serious than petty offenses. One convicted of a misdemeanor may be required to serve a county jail sentence, but cannot be sentenced to the Colorado Department of Corrections, the statewide prison system. Misdemeanors range in seriousness from Class One, which is the most serious, to Class Three, which is the least serious. The higher the class of misdemeanor, the greater the possible penalties. Like misdemeanors, petty offenses range from Class One to Class Three.
