Reckless endangerment actually has two degrees of severity, one being a misdemeanor and the other a felony. New York Penal Code, Article 120, Section 20 states: "A person is guilty of reckless endangerment in the second degree when he recklessly engages in conduct which creates a substantial risk of serious physical injury to another person." Reckless endangerment in the second degree is a class A misdemeanor and carries a penalty of either a $1,000 fine and probation or a sentence of up to one year in jail.
New York Penal Code, Article 120, Section 25 states: "A person is guilty of reckless endangerment in the first degree when, under circumstances evincing a depraved indifference to human life, he recklessly engages in conduct which creates a grave risk of death to another person." Reckless endangerment in the first degree is a class D felony and carries a mandatory minimum sentence of two years in prison and a potential maximum of up to seven years in prison.
