Breaking & Entering Bail Bonds

Breaking & Entering (ORC 2911.13) is a serious crime in Ohio and is considered a felony of the 5th degree. A felony of the 5th degree carries a prison term of 6 to 12 months as well as up to $2500 in fines and penalties. However, breaking & entering is usually accompanied by a theft, burglary or aggravated burglary which then may become a 4th, 3rd, 2nd or even 1st degree felony, depending on whether a dangerous weapon was carried and if anyone else was present on the premises at the time of the offense.
