Misdemeanor;
However, under the campaign of 和谐社会* slogan, Xiao would probably get off with fine of a few hundred dollars and under probation of x number of days; totally without any criminal record (hope this prediction is wrong).

Who knows?
和谐社会* does it mean:
“If I am rich or powerful, please tolerate my wrong doings in order to achieve a 和谐社会” ?
amen.
