Not Legal Advice: Upon searching, we found that Misd Comm could possibly stand for Misdemeanor Commitment, classified under Class A misdemeanor.
States typically divide misdemeanors into categories such as Class A, B, C, D (or some numerical equivalent), with Class A being the most serious and Class C or D being the least serious.
In general, a misdemeanor is an offense punishable by a jail term of up to one year. Offenses that require more than a year of incarceration are usually classified as felonies. Felony charges can result in a sentence in federal prison, whereas misdemeanors usually result in sentencing to a local or county jail. However, Class A misdemeanors carry sentences that are very similar to some lesser felonies.
Since Class A misdemeanors are usually the most serious type of misdemeanor offense, they often involve the maximum penalties that can be prescribed for a misdemeanor.
Some common examples of Class A misdemeanor crimes include:
Assault resulting in bodily injury
DUI/DWI (see also Felony DUI)
Misdemeanor Domestic Violence
Burglary
Resisting arrest
Obscenity
Perjury
Possession of a controlled substance
Property theft over $1,000
Unlawful possession of a weapon
Violating a restraining order
