A third-degree felony is a type of crime that is considered less severe than first and second-degree felonies, but still carries significant penalties such as prison time, fines, and other penalties. In Florida, for example, a third-degree felony is punishable by up to 5 years in prison, a $5000 fine, and 5 years of probation. The specific crimes that are classified as third-degree felonies vary by state, but some examples include fraud, assault, child molestation, theft, and driving under the influence. Other examples of third-degree felonies in Florida include grand theft, felony battery, possession of cocaine, carrying a concealed firearm without a license, and battery on a law enforcement officer. It is important to note that certain misdemeanor offenses can also be charged as third-degree felonies if committed more than once.
