Class B felonies also entail significant years in jail. More specifically, they are punishable by 8-30 years in prison and a fine of up to $25,000. Aggravated burglary (burglary that results in serious bodily injury) is an example of a Class B felony.
Class C Felony TN
Class C felonies usually carry 3-15 years in prison and up to $10,000 in fines. Some examples of crimes charged as Class C felonies include aggravated assault (intentionally causing serious injury to another) and kidnapping.
Class D Felony TN
Class D felony carries lesser penalties and is punishable by 2-12 years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000. Aggravated assault may be charged as a Class D felony instead of a Class C felony in certain cases, and burglary may also be a Class D felony. Possession of between 10-70 pounds of marijuana is also a Class D felony offense.
Class E Felony TN
Class E felonies are the least serious felonies in Tennessee. They carry 1-6 years in prison, as well as a fine of up to $3,000. In most cases, offenses without a specified felony classification will be charged as a Class E felony. Some examples of Class E felonies include theft of property worth $1,000-$2,500.

Class A felonies – 15 years
Class B felonies – 8 years
Class C and D felonies – 4 years
Class E felonies – 2 years
