A misdemeanor is a criminal offense punishable by up to 1 year in JAIL. A felony is a criminal offense punishable by over 1 year in PRISON.
Common misdemeanors include: Operating While Intoxicated (OWI), Domestic Violence, Assault, Larceny, Retail Fraud, MDOP.
The crimes listed above are 93 day misdemeanors for the first offense. The 2nd offense is a 1 year misdemeanor. The 3rd offense becomes a 4-year felony.
Additionally, in Michigan, all property crimes (larceny, destruction of property, embezzlement, shoplifting, etc.) are based on the value of the property destroyed or stolen:
under $200 = 93-day misdemeanor
Over $200 but under $1000 = 1 year misdemeanor
Over $1000 = 4 year felony.
Police Officers can arrest for all crimes committed in their presence. Police officers can also arrest for felonies committed outside their presence when they have probable cause to believe the offense was committed by the suspect. They used to not be able to arrest for misdemeanors outside their presence (w/ a few exceptions - Domestic Assault, OWI crashes, restraining order violations and retail fraud).
Recently, Michigan's procedural laws changed and officers CAN arrest for misdemeanors committed outside their presence, based on probable cause, when the offense is a "93-day" misdemeanor or higher.

A misdemeanor is a crime where you must appear in person in front of a judge to answer for, and has a punishment of a maximum of one year in jail.
An infraction can be paid for by a fine without an appearance in most cases. A felony is a crime with a maximum punishment of more than one year.

The term refers to a minor crime, carrying possibly a fine or some minor jail time (generally under one year).
If the crime is more severe, it is classed as a felony. Underneath misdemeanors are violations of civil ordinances, which do not carry any possibility of jail time.

misdemeanor, or misdemeanour, in many common law legal systems, is a "lesser" criminal act. Misdemeanors are generally punished less severely than felonies; but theoretically more so than administrative infractions (also known as regulatory offenses).

Any crime that the max penalty is NOT with or without hard labor.
Each state varies a little so, check locally on the laws of your state.

It means you broke a law, but it wasn't serious enough to send
you to prison (i.e., you didn't kill, rape, steal a car, etc.)
