Burglary is also known as breaking and entering.

It is categorized as first degree burglary and generally charged as a felony. Second degree burglary may consist of auto, business, or commercial burglaries and may be charged as a misdemeanor or felony, depending on the facts of the case. In any type of burglary, the actual theft or felony intended does not have to have been carried out nor does a forced entry have to be proven.

Penalties for a misdemeanor second degree burglary include a jail term of up to one year and fines of up to $1,000.
