In Arizona, misdemeanor offenses are given classes from Class 1 to Class 3, with Class 1 misdemeanors being the most severe, and Class 3 misdemeanors being the least severe.

Please note that possible sentences in specific cases can be complicated to compute.  Some offenses, like DUI, have mandatory minimum penalties.
