Class 6 Felony Arizona

Normal punishment for a Class 6 felony ranges from 6 to 18 months with a presumptive sentence of a single year. An aggravated term equals prison time of two years and the mitigation term is four months. Read on to learn more.

However, if your Class 6 Felony charge did not involve a weapon or cause serious injury, the Judge may enter a judgement of a Class 1 misdemeanor or sentence you to probation, holding off the charges to see if you complete probation. The prosecutor may also make a decision to charge as a misdemeanor offense. Some examples of Class 6 felonies in Arizona are:

• Property theft between $1,000 and $2,000
• Gun theft
• Tampering with a witness
• Possession of less than two pounds of marijuana for personal use  
• Possession of drug paraphernalia.

Felony Fines

A felony can carry a fine of up to $150,000 as well as prison time and additional fines related to drug crimes. The state also applies various surcharges equaling up to 78%. However, the judge may reduce the fine amount if you can make the case it would be a financial hardship for yourself and immediate family members.
