A misdemeanor is a crime that is punishable by imprisonment in the county jail for a period of up to 6 months and a fine of up to $1,000. A gross misdemeanor is punishable by up to one year in the Churchill County Jail and a maximum fine of $2,000. A felony is a more serious crime that is punishable by a period of imprisonment in the Nevada State Prison that is longer than a year and fines as specified by individual statutes.
