If it's 4th degree joyriding (no harm to people or property) then a maximum sentence would be 18 months in jail and $7,500 fine.

If it's 3rd degree and you caused damage to people or property, then if could be 3-5 years in jail and a fine of $7,500.

That is why it is good to go to your court dates so your can defend yourself and you walk out with a lesser charge most of the time. I would contact the department and get this sorted out. You don't want a bench warrant.
