Class D assault
Misdemeanor or felony? I scrstced my ex on his ear in 2002 and he had me arrested for that. I live in Maine and work as a can. On the can registry my offense was listrd as a class D assault. The lady I spoke to on the phone told me it eas a misdemeanor assault( it has since been dropped from the registry). I read on here somewhere that a class D assault is a felony but that is not what the registry told me. Now I am .in.Florida applying for the can reciprecity. I have been fingerprinted. Will this charge show up on my level 2 background check

Go by what the registry told you. Laws vary from state to state. What you were reading here was probably for a state other than Maine.
What is a CAN?
"17-A ME Rev Stat § 207 (2012 through 125th Legis)
1. A person is guilty of assault if:
A. The person intentionally, knowingly or recklessly causes bodily injury or offensive physical contact to another person. Violation of this paragraph is a Class D crime;
..."
"Chapter 51: SENTENCES OF IMPRISONMENT
17-A §1252. Imprisonment for crimes other than murder
1. In the case of a person convicted of a crime other than murder, the court may sentence to imprisonment for a definite term as provided for in this section, unless ...
...
A. For a Class D or Class E crime the court must specify a county jail as the place of imprisonment.
B. For a Class A, Class B or Class C crime the court must:
(1) Specify a county jail as the place of imprisonment if the term of imprisonment is 9 months or less; or
(2) Commit the person to the Department of Corrections if the term of imprisonment is more than 9 months.
..."
Maine apparenty for some reason chooses not to use the terms "felony" and "misdemeanor", but rather simply "Class (something) Crime". In general, a felony is a crime for which the sentence can possibly equal or exceed a year in prison. The above sentencing statute makes it clear that a Class D crime won't exceed 9 months (only Class A, B, or C crimes get sentences that long.); thus a Class D crime is not a felony.

Yes I know that it probably will. I am just thankful that it is only a misdemeanor. It didn't affect me in Maine so hopefully it won't here. I have researched and any felony would fail me.
