Types of Felony Charges in Maryland

In Maryland, felonies are not categorized by class. Instead, each type of felony is covered under its own statute that outlines its penalties.

Examples of felonies in Maryland include:

• Aggravated assault
• Sexual assault/rape
• Carjacking
• Sales or distribution of a controlled dangerous substance
• Burglary
• Arson
• Fraud
• Theft of goods or services valued more than $1,000
• Robbery
• Manslaughter
• Murder

For example, aggravated assault can carry up to 25 years in prison, carjacking carries up to 30 years in prison, manslaughter carries up to 10 years in prison, and murder can be punished by anything from life in prison to the death penalty. Fines for felonies are also generally higher than those for misdemeanors. Second, third, and subsequent offenses can lead to even longer prison sentences with mandatory minimum sentences per Maryland law.
