Misdemeanor and felony
In general, it is fair to say that a misdemeanor can be defined by the maximum length of time a person can be incarcerated for the crime, usually no more than one year. Crimes with a minimum jail time of over a year are usually felonies.
Solicitation
If you ask another person to commit a crime for you, you will be guilty of solicitation.
Resisting arrest
Resisting arrest is a misdemeanor in Georgia. You are required to co-operate with a police officer who is trying to arrest you. If you do not co-operate or try to prevent your arrest in any manner including taunting the officer, lying about your identity, struggling with the officer, trying to hurt or escape from the officer or otherwise resisting his or her efforts to take you into custody. Even interfering with a police officer’s attempt to arrest another person can result in you being charged for resisting arrest.
Disorderly conduct
Unruly or disturbing behavior which acts to provoke a disturbance is considered disorderly conduct – a criminal offence. Penalties for disorderly conduct include prison term and fines.
