It is in your best interest to seek legal representation immediately. There are a wide array of acts that constitute a “crime,” and in North Carolina, a crime can be either a misdemeanor or a felony. A misdemeanor carries with it a lesser punishment than does a felony, but both have the possibility of subjecting a criminal defendant to prison time, among other repercussions.
If you have been charged with a crime, the State of North Carolina will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law, and will likely recommend the harshest punishment that the law provides.
