Bail Bonds for Misdemeanors in Kansas

A misdemeanor in Kansas is not considered as serious as a felony charge, but the crime can still be costly adding up fees, fines and possible jail time.

Understanding Misdemeanor Charges

Misdemeanors in Kansas are divided into various classes with varying levels of severity: Class A, B and C as well as an “unclassified misdemeanor.”

For example, a Class A misdemeanor is the most severe level. Sentencing can result in up to one year in jail and up to $2,500 in fines. 

Class B and C misdemeanors result in less jail time and lower fines at sentencing. Unclassified misdemeanors are any that have not been distinguished from the other classes and usually carry the same sentencing as a Class C misdemeanor.

Types of charges considered misdemeanors include:

• Battery
• Disorderly conduct
• Harassment
• Possession of marijuana
• Property crimes

The result to the victim of the crime will determine the severity level during sentencing. For example, battery might be considered a Class B misdemeanor, but if the victim is a school official, the crime automatically becomes a Class A misdemeanor. 

Bail for misdemeanor charges tends to be less than more severe charges. The court may even release you on a recognizance bond especially for minor charges or first offenses. Bail increases with the severity of the crime as well as if you have past offenses, which may lead up to receiving a felony charge on a misdemeanor crime.
