What factor distinguishes felony vandalism from misdemeanor vandalism?

Type of property Amount of damage exceeds $400 Use of a weapon Victim's status

Correct Answer:

Amount of damage exceeds $400

Explanation:

The key idea is the amount of damage to property. Felony vandalism is defined by damage that meets or exceeds a set monetary threshold; when the damage surpasses that threshold, the offense is elevated from a misdemeanor to a felony. In this item, exceeding $400 is the trigger. So if the damage is greater than $400, it’s a felony; if not, it remains a misdemeanor. The other factors listed (type of property, use of a weapon, victim’s status) might affect related charges or aggravating circumstances in some cases, but they don’t establish the felony versus misdemeanor distinction for vandalism itself.
