Criminal Charges in Colorado: Felony, Misdemeanor & Traffic
Felonies
Colorado treats felonies as the most serious crimes, with long prison sentences, steep fines, and consequences that last a lifetime. Common felony charges include aggravated assault, burglary, major drug crimes, and certain DUIs.

Misdemeanors
Don’t let the term “misdemeanor” fool you — a conviction can still mean jail time, probation, costly fines, and a criminal record. Common examples include petty theft, trespassing, and harassment.
