Misdemeanors in NC are divided into Class A1, 1, 2, and 3. They are usually handled in District Court and can carry probation, community service, fines, and in some cases a short jail sentence.
Felonies are more serious and start in District Court but typically move to Superior Court. They carry the possibility of prison time and lasting effects on rights like firearm ownership and voting.
