The County section of the Criminal Division keeps records for the court system primarily related to Misdemeanor and Criminal Traffic.  Misdemeanor cases are crimes of a lower degree than Felony cases. They are punishable by a fine, court costs, probation, or imprisonment in the county jail. 

Misdemeanors are classified into two degrees:

• First Degree Misdemeanor is punishable by up to one year in the county jail.

• Second Degree Misdemeanor is punishable by up to 60 days in the county jail.

• Some misdemeanor offenses in which the violator has not been arrested may be resolved by paying a fine in lieu of a court appearance and a withhold adjudication of guilt is applied. In accordance with Administrative Order CR-2017-005-SC, this applies to the following violations.
