What Is Malicious Property Destruction?

Malicious property destruction is a criminal offense in which a person intentionally damages or destroys another person's property. The property must belong to someone else, not the person committing the crime. This can include anything from a person's personal property to a business's property.

The crime of malicious property destruction is different from the crime of criminal mischief. Criminal mischief is committed when a person damages or destroys property but does so without the intent to do so. Malicious property destruction, on the other hand, is committed with the intent to cause damage or destruction. This can include situations in which a person intentionally sets fire to property, intentionally destroys property by graffiti, or intentionally damages property by vandalism.

Malicious Property Destruction Penalties

Malicious property destruction can be charged as either a misdemeanor or a felony offense, depending on the value of the property that was damaged or destroyed. If the value of the property is less than $1,000, malicious property destruction can be charged as a misdemeanor. However, if the value of the property is $1,000 or more, malicious property destruction can be charged as a felony offense. The penalties for malicious property destruction can include fines, imprisonment, probation, community service, or some combination of these penalties.
