A: There are a wide range of penalties with those charges. If you’re still in District Court, there’s a chance you could get a misdemeanor on the cases. If you’ve been indicted in you’re likely to get a felony, and if you’re not a prior convicted, felon, felony diversion would be your best bet. Wanton Endangerment is a wide ranging charge because it can be anything from dangerous driving to shooting a gun.
