Q: I need to know what the maximum penalty wasfor Maryland statute 27.155A and 27.555A back in 1987. I was found guilty
I was given probation for these 2 things. In Maryland case search they show up as misdemeanor. I’m applying for my HQL and one of the questions is have you ever been convicted of a crime that has maximum penalty of over 1 yr . My question is what was the actual penalty for the 2 crimes back in 1987 when it took place . And I want to know if it would stop me from getting my HQL in Maryland.
A: Md. Code art. 27 sec. 555A (telephone harassment) carried a potential jail term of 3 years in 1987.
