I’m a minor and I was charged with misdemeanor C theft for allegedly stealing from Walmart, this is my first offense and I was given a citation and a juvenile field inquiry. What are the most likely consequences I will be facing, as in what will I most likely have to do? And what are all the possible consequences that I could get?

Answer

Theft is a crime of moral turpitude, and a conviction on this type of case can affect you for the rest of your life. A class c misdemeanor is punishable by a maximum fine of up to $500 plus court costs. Please contact a local attorney to try to keep this from your record.
