Another frequent misdemeanor is failure to stop and identify after a property damage collision. To put it another way, let's say your car slips off the road and damages a fence. Rather than waiting for the police to arrive and file a report, you drive home and take care of the problem the following day. In many cases, the police will arrive at your home and issue you a misdemeanor ticket for failing to stop and identify yourself after causing property damage. Because it's often assumed at the courthouse that you were probably intoxicated and got away with it, the courts take those very seriously.
