Class A Felonies
Class A Felonies are considered some of the more egregious of crimes. A criminal partaking in more than several of these crimes in a short space of time should be aware that a capture may result in meeting the hangman's noose quicker than they might expect.
Evasion of such crimes would lead to a bounty being in place. The reward is for the Sheriffs to decide.
