Yeah,
That's pretty much how I had it figured. So don't write bad checks around
my house, or you go to the big house and become Bubba's love slave!!! HAHAHA
And I think over the state line in Virginia they behead you if your
exhaust system is not up to code. Yeah I am just kidding there, but Virginia
is terrible at harassing drivers. Always lots of police reports in the paper
( they put the Scott, Lee and Wise County , VA. in the Kingsport, TN paper)
with lots and lots of out of state people being pulled over and fined for
window tint. Hole in exhaust pipe, etc. etc.
But oh well we go over to VA and get groceries because their sales tax
is so low. So I just keep my fingers crossed the whole time I am in The Old
Dominion.

Pretty close. Misdemeanors carry sentences of less than 1 year. There's
also a limit on the fine that can be levied, but I'm sure it's gone up
since the last time I knew any details (used to be $1,000 back around
1970). Sentences of less than 1 year are typically served in the county
jail. Felony convictions are served in State penitentiaries.
