It will depend on the court. It will also depend the type of menacing charge. Is it Menacing by Stalking? Aggravated Menacing? Have you had a crime of violence charge in the past? Is the victim a child care or children's service worker?

At its most basic level it is a misdemeanor of the fourth degree and can carry a sentence of no more than thirty days.

Under Ohio Revised Code section 2903.22 menacing is generally a misdemeanor of the fourth degree (max of up to 30 days and/or fine of up to $250).

But, if the victim of the offense is an officer or employee of a public children services agency or a private child placing agency and the offense relates to the officer’s or employee’s performance or anticipated performance of official responsibilities or duties, menacing is a misdemeanor of the first degree (max of 180 days and/or fine of up to $1,000),

Or, if the offender previously has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to an offense of violence, the victim of that prior offense was an officer or employee of a public children services agency or private child placing agency, and that prior offense related to the officer’s or employee’s performance or anticipated performance of official responsibilities or duties, a felony of the fourth degree (if prison time imposed then minimum of six month to a maximum of 18 months and/or a fine of up to $5,000).
