What happens if I am charged with MDOP - Malicious Destruction of Property in Michigan?

2/8/2023

 
If you are charged with Malicious Destruction of Property (MDOP) in Michigan, the consequences can vary depending on the specific circumstances of your case. MDOP is a criminal offense that involves intentionally damaging someone else's property. In Michigan, MDOP can be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the value of the property that was damaged.
Here are some of the potential consequences if you are convicted of MDOP in Michigan:
  • Misdemeanor: If the value of the property that was damaged is less than $200, you may be charged with a misdemeanor, which can result in a sentence of up to 93 days in jail and a fine of up to $500.
  • Felony: If the value of the property that was damaged is $1,000 or more, you may be charged with a felony, which can result in a prison sentence of up to 5 years and a fine of up to $10,000.
  • Restitution: In addition to any fines or imprisonment, you may also be required to pay restitution to the owner of the property that was damaged.
  • Criminal record: A conviction for MDOP can result in a permanent criminal record, which can make it difficult to find employment, housing, and other opportunities in the future.
If you have been charged with MDOP in Michigan, it's important to seek the advice of a qualified criminal defense attorney. An experienced attorney can help you understand the charges against you, the potential consequences of a conviction, and can provide you with a strong defense.
