One of the most common misdemeanor charges in Memphis is for driving while license is suspended or revoked. The police may arrest for this charge but many times they will issue a Misdemeanor Citation in Lieu of Arrest. If you receive a Misdemeanor Citation, it is very important that you still realize that this is a serious charge and missing court will result in a warrant for your arrest.
Possible Outcomes
If convicted of a misdemeanor charge, one can be sentenced for up to 11 months and 29 days in jail; however, most commonly, these cases are resolved by either:
a.) Where possible, if the individual can get their license reinstated, the court may agree to dismiss the charge for getting into compliance,
OR
b.) a guilty plea by agreement to paying a fine and court costs.
