A criminal mischief is committed when someone willfully and maliciously damages, in any way, a victim’s real or personal property.

 

If the damage caused is $200.00 or less, the criminal mischief is considered a second-degree misdemeanor punishable by up to 60 days in jail. If the damage is valued at over $200.00, but less than $1000.00, the criminal mischief is considered a first-degree misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail. If the damage is $1000 or over, the crime can be prosecuted as a Felony in Florida.
