- Vandalism: injuring or defacing public property or property of another; shooting out street lights; or similar offenses where damage is assessed at $200 or less.
NOTE: Consider offenses of a similar nature as minor non-traffic offenses. In doubtful cases, apply the following rule:
If the maximum confinement under state or local law is 6-months, or less, treat the offense as a Class 2 minor non-traffic offense.
NOTE: If the conviction/adverse adjudication is not listed in the uniform guide list for typical offenses then federal, state, or local laws apply for enlistment purposes.
Two or more Class 2 minor non-traffic offenses require a waiver. Ten or more Class 2 minor non-traffic offenses are disqualifying, and no waiver is authorized.
