What Is the Usual Punishment for Malicious Mischief by a Juvenile?
Any juvenile who commits malicious mischief as a minor faces the penalty of losing his/her drivers license for a year. Or, if the juvenile does not yet drive, the ability to apply for a license will be delayed by a year. Even though the crime doesn’t have anything to do with driving, the loss of a drivers license is the big penalty for the offense. Malicious mischief is defacing with graffiti, damaging or destroying any real or personal property that belongs to someone else.
