Generally, North Carolina misdemeanors are punishable by up to one year in jail (not prison) and fines. And though a Misdemeanor charge in North Carolina is not as serious as a Felony charge, a misdemeanor conviction could result in significant fines, possible jail time, and will appear on a criminal background check.
