so i take it u were arrested for this?  okay, a $10 item is like theft in the 3rd degree.  it's like petty theft.  nothing warranting a big to do.  if the store is pressing charges, then yeah, u will have to do the whole court thing.  get a lawyer IMMEDIATELY.  Request a court appointed one if u can't afford it.  Plead NOT GUILTY during ur first court appearance (arraignment).  The burden is on the state to prove its case.  Don't hand it over on a silver platter.  Things can happen by the time u r  scheduled to go to trial.  Charges could be dismissed due to lack of evidence, etc.  Ok, if things don't go ur way, and u eventually agree to a plea deal, u will NOT get jail time for a $10 theft.  the justice dept has much bigger fish to fry (like rapists, child molesters, etc.) than to imprison u for your petty theft.  U will just have to pay restitution (in other words, pay the store $10 for its loss) and court fees.  U will be put on probation and likely have to do a few community service hours.  If u r lucky, u will be able to swing a "deferred sentence" whereby u will NOT have this on your record if u "keep your nose clean" from problems for a designated amt of time.

There is no general answer.  It depends on the jurisdiction, and then it depends on the particular judge what to do at sentencing time.  Most states take into consideration now whether this is a first offense or repeat offender, the property taken and whether anyone was actually hurt in the theft and so forth.

Best thing is pay the fine. But if you gutts tell you to fight it then you better enter a no contest plea then spill your gutts to the judge. First time offenders are easier to get away with stuff. But you were speeding 20 over so good luck!! (you will need it)

depends on how much he stole...no no...I'm joking...of course you have to go to the police...otherwise you'll be an accessory to the crime...I know tough break.

As a student steals used to be a huge game! One that I was proud of was a roll of police crime scene tape from outside the police station!! I put it up outside the halls I lived in & noone knew what was going on!

depends on what possessions you had.  In some cases things like ciggarets, lighters etc. are not returned.  you should be able to go to the jail and get your possessions. all you do is sign for it. if you dont claim your belongings within a certain amount of time it will be discarded. you should call the jail and speak to the property room.

I was in the exact same situation when I was 19.  I had a totally clean record and had taken about $27 worth of stuff from a grocery store.  I did not have a job and I didn't want my mom to find out.\n\nI went to court on the date I was supposed to appear and I used the public defender that they had.  I was fined $500 plus another $100 (?) in court fees and given one year to do 40 hours of community service.  I think I was placed on probation for a year.   \n\nThe weird part was that they had told me something about how if I completed the 40 hours of community service it would be wiped off my record (?) because it was my first offense (something like that).  They kept saying the words 'misdemeanor' and 'felony'.  I could have sworn that they told me that if I didn't do my community service that it would be bumped up to a felony.  I don't see how that could have been true.  The whole thing was such a blur because I was so scared.  I was sure they were going to send me to jail.  \n\nI had to borrow the money from my boyfriend and I paid the fine.  My mom never found out.  A year went by and I never did the community service (long story).  When I returned to court when the year was up, I told the judge that I didn't do the community service and he said 'OK' and that was it.  I left.  I have no clue what I ended up actually being charged with and I've never seen my record.

I have been arrested 3 times. I was a bad teenager. 2 of the arrests were for shoplifting. The first shoplifting I tried to steal a can of formula for my baby. I had no money and had just moved to that state and knew no one. When I was sitting in the back of Wal-Mart waiting for the cop to come and get me the Wal-Mart people gave me a bunch of baby clothes, diapers, wipes and formula for my son. Then they sent me off to jail. I spent 18 hours there. Right when I got out of there I was about to call someone to give me a ride, when some cops walked up to me and arrested me. They realized I had a speeding ticket that I had never paid from 3 years earlier. They took me to a different jail, which was worse than the first one. I was there for 6 days because I had an out of state drivers license and they didn't want to let me get out on bond for fear of me going back to that state and not paying. So I had to stay in jail til the court date. My third time was shoplifting once again, but that time it was just for the thrill of it. It was hair dye.LOL The cop handcuffed me and took me to jail. Got my statement and info and fingerprints and pic. He asked me if I had ever shoplifted before and I said no. He believed me and obviously couldn't find my previous record of it, so he just let me go home without doin time. I learned my lesson anyway though. That was the last time I ever stole anything.

The crazy thing is that, it's possible that it can. You just need to go to the county where it happened, and get the record yourself, to see what is on it. I was surprised when I saw mine. Once you have the record, when applying for the job, list and explain the situation. They should not hold this against you. They will however hold it against you if you lie about it. That has happened to me before too. Better safe than sorry. \nps. There is a such thing as an "arrest report". You were arrested, but found inocent. It would still be on your "arrest report". Again, better safe than sorry".

If this was not his first offense, I would assume he has a probation/parole officer.  If so, have him contact his PO and turn himself in.  If it was a first time offense, call the DA and have him 'turn himself in'--he will probably be arrested on the warrant, but could be out on bail in a few hours.  Taking the first step by voluntarily surrendering will be much better for him in the eyes of a judge than being stopped for a minor traffic violation and arrested on the warrant because he got 'caught'.  Added plus is that if he is guilty--turning himself in may influence the judge's decision at sentencing.

Stealing and getting caught.

Yes, go see your PO. That's why you were in jail the first time you idiot, you didn't obey the law! Dont try breaking it again.

The most expensive gift I've ever recieved from a guy I was seeing was a diamond ring.  It was only .25 carots, white gold.  He was a drunken a**hole and after I had ditched him I gave the ring to a little girl I passed by at a fair because I felt it was bad luck to keep it.  ...I wonder if she still has it... No definately not still with him, really wouldn't mind never seeing him again.  :-)

The maximum fines are scary but people almost never get them unless they have an extensive criminal record.  \n Was the ring returned? If it was, expect probation and community service probably.  If not you may have to repay the value of the ring and then get probation and community service. You will be tried as a youth. (They only try as adult for serious offences like murder).  Here in Canada your record would be completely wiped out at 18 (sorry cant say for sure in USA).\nThe best thing to do is to talk to a lawyer (most courts have duty counsel there for free legal advice) and find out.
