What does warrant level 5 mean?

Question

i need to know what level 5 means on an arrest warrant

Answer 1

The "level" of the warrant is actually the "level" of the offense.

Depending upon your state...it has certain degrees or levels of how serious an offense is.

In this case it appears the "level of the offense" was a level 5 which in Florida (for instance) would be a somewhat serious offense.

Some examples would be:

-Leaving or attempting to leave scene of

crash  



- Knowledge of order to stop by authorized

LEO

-Willful refusal to stop or willful stop and

then flee

- Causes injury to another person or

property damage to another person

The actual type of warrant could be a misdemeanor or felony warrant. That's where the real issue is.

Conviction of a misdemeanor offense carry's less than one year in jail whereas a felony is no less than one year in jail.
