Question

OKAY. IT SAYS OFFENSE TYPE M, DEGREE "F". WHAT THE HECK DOES THIS MEAN? AND BEFORE PEOPLE START SAYING FELONY..NO, THE OFFENSE TYPE SAYS M, AND THAT MEANS MIDEMEANOR..THE DEGREE WOULD NORMALLY SAY 1,2, OR 3..BUT IT SAYS F?? I THINK FIRST IT SAID DEGREE 2...BUT NOW THEY HAVE CHANGED IT TO "F"..
