Minnesota Felonies vs. Misdemeanors Crimes

In Minnesota, crimes are separated into categories depending on their seriousness. The most serious crimes, including kidnapping, murder and rape, are called felonies and subject to harshest punishment, which can include lengthy imprisonment. Less serious crimes are called gross misdemeanors. Still lesser crimes are called misdemeanors. Punishment for committing a misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor may include jail time or fines, or both.  

Minnesota has statutes that allow the authorities to seize property connected with the commission of certain crimes. Minnesota authorities can seize guns and ammunition found in a car used to commit a felony offense, near a person carrying a felony-level amount of drugs, or on the property where a felony-level of drugs is found.   Call your local Carver County Felony Attorney for more info.
