Mischief is defined as unlawful interference with the property of another person. Mischief is separated into two categories based on the cost of alleged damage: over $5,000 and under $5,000. Mischief charges can range from damaging or defacing property to committing an act that could endanger a person's life or health. Because mischief covers a broad number of offences, penalties for a conviction vary depending on the severity of the offence. For simple mischief charges, like vandalism or graffiti, you could face fines up to $5000 and probation, but jail time isn't likely. The maximum penalty for mischief is much higher if it results in bodily harm or death; you could face up to 10 years in prison.
