Criminal Law: Common Criminal Charges in Montgomery Alabama
Common Criminal Charges in Montgomery
Every year, thousands of crimes are committed in the United States, including in Alabama. In Montgomery County, criminal penalties can be quite severe, depending on your specific charges. Should you have been arrested and charged with a crime, you should speak with a qualified Montgomery criminal defense attorney at Luck Law. Our firm can help you squash or lessen the charges you're facing.
Four Common Criminal Charges
A few common crimes stand out among the many criminal offenses possible under Alabama law.
1.Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
Many people consider DUI to be a traffic offense, but it is a crime under Alabama law. Law enforcement takes impaired driving very seriously, and so should anyone arrested for DUI. A conviction for DUI can mean probation, driver’s license suspension, fines, an ignition interlock device, and more. Having a DUI on your record can also disqualify you from jobs that require you to have a clean driving history.
You always need proper defense representation if you are arrested for DUI in Montgomery.
2.Larceny
About 60% of all crimes committed in the U.S. are classified as theft, otherwise known as larceny. In Alabama, larceny is the most common property crime. According to estimates, it makes up about 71% of all property crimes.
Theft and larceny charges can stem from allegations of stealing from a store, an employer, or a house. Larceny can be a physical act like pickpocketing, or it might involve white-collar theft through fraud.
Depending on what you are accused of stealing and its value, you could face several years in prison and thousands of dollars in fines if charged and convicted of larceny in Montgomery.
3.Violent Crimes
Violent crime charges are also common in Montgomery, Alabama. Violent crimes include everything from robbery and rape to murder and aggravated assault. These are crimes against a person instead of crimes against property, so the penalties are often harsher.
Many violent offenses result in felony charges, which can mean over a year of prison time. This is why it's crucial to have a competent lawyer defending you if you have been charged with a violent crime.
4.Burglary
It is believed that out of every 100,000 people in the U.S., about 340 will be burglary victims. Additionally, statistics point toward burglary making up about 19% of all property crimes in Alabama, and many of these burglaries happen in Montgomery County.
Moreover, burglary can occur almost anywhere, including on a boat, a vehicle, a residence, a business, or another dwelling. The sentence for a burglary conviction depends on the circumstances, but it can involve imprisonment.
