Rick has been charged with an offense that carries a maximum penalty of a 90 day jail sentence; he has been charged with a misdemeanor.
More about misdemeanor:
Any "lesser" criminal offence is referred to as a misdemeanour (American English, often written misdemeanour elsewhere).
Though potentially more severe than administrative infractions (also known as minor, petty, or summary crimes) and regulatory offences, misdemeanours are typically punished less harshly than more serious felonies. Typically, community service or monetary fines are used to punish misdemeanours.
Typically, misdemeanours do not affect civil rights, but they may result in the loss of privileges like professional licences, public office, or public employment.
