A person is guilty of misapplication of property when, knowingly possessing personal property of another pursuant to an agreement that it will be returned to the owner at a future time, the person sells, loans, leases, pledges, pawns or otherwise encumbers the property without the consent of the owner thereof in such a manner as to create a risk that the owner will be unable to recover it or will suffer pecuniary loss. Misapplication of property is a class A misdemeanor, unless the value of the property received, retained or disposed of is $1,500 or more, in which case it is a class G felony.
