Escape (M) describes which scenario?

• A. A person escapes from custody having been arrested for a petty offense or misdemeanor.
• B. Escapes from custody after being charged/ convicted of felony.
• C. Escapes from a detention facility.
• D. Adjudicated a youth offender for a felony, escapes from custody or juvenile detention facility.

Answer: (A)

Escape (M) is the category for escaping from custody when the person was arrested for a misdemeanor or petty offense. The M signals misdemeanor-level charges, so the scenario describes someone who escapes after being taken into custody for a minor offense. If the person had fled after felony charges, or if the situation involved a juvenile adjudication or detention facility, those would fall under different classifications. In short, this choice matches the misdemeanor context indicated by the (M) designation.
