It depends on the misdemeanor:
In General, if the maximum possible sentence is 12 months or more, then No. If less then 12 month, Yes.
If it was for a controlled substance (drugs) No.
If it was for any type of violent crime (Assault, DV, etc) No.
There are other stipulations as well, but those are the major ones. The best way to find out is to apply - the Sheriff has to tell you, in writing, why you were denied if you are. It only costs you the application fee.
