A: I believe it's a second-degree misdemeanor, which carries a maximum jail time of up to 2 years plus a fine. Off the top of my head, I'm not sure if there's a mandatory minimum jail term or fine. But it's a serious charge, so you should hire a good criminal defense attorney to be by your side throughout your case -- and then you can ask him or her for sure.

Best of luck to you.
