Recently caught by Kohls California store for a petty theft of $50. Officer charged with Misdemeanor. Will they put me in Jail or just some fine and community services? The merchandise is of $44 dollars. Can I appeal for Infraction? Why did they charge me Misdemeanor?
I am feeling so embarrassed about the whole thing now since for few dollars I have lost all my peace of mind, sleep and I am not able to live my normal life. I have to appear in front of court in month of February. Has someone faced this kind of situation? Will it remain on my records? I really dont want to go in Jail. I am ready to pay fine. Will i be on some probation? Is there any kind of diversion program that i can request for? I have recently started my new job few months back and I am a Part Time Student. I have learned my Lesson already and I WILL NEVER REPEAT this MISTAKE in my whole life and never do such ACT. Can I just defend myself in the court. I called few Lawyers and they are charging me $5000 which is too much for me to afford. Does anyone knows any other option that I can use to defend myself in the court? I am scared of going to JAIL and I dont want to go to JAIL. Can someone please list me all the options that I can take to avoid going to JAIL and keeping off these thing on my Records. Please Advice and Help. Thanks |

You will not get jail normally.
But try to get that off your record if possible as it will follow you for a long time as to employers, and others. Best to have legal counsel assist if you can. |

I had the same thing happen about two years ago at a kohls as well.
They always prosecute, no matter how much you have stolen, so I wouldn't feel too bad about it. The fines aren't too bad [compared to a speeding ticket] and they'll probably give you community service. you won't go to jail. i wouldn't freak about that. the only thing that sucks the most about it, is that it KILLS your record. id suggest save up a lot of money to get a lawyer and get it off your record. especially now. NO ONE will hire me at the moment even though I have excellent interview skills and experience as well as an amazing resume. so leave jail out of you mind, just get it off your record. |

URGENT. Same situation with me. Caught for petty larceny. I am in the middle of an interview and worse, I am on H1B which expires in September.
I am about to loose my current job as my branch is closing down and I have another excellent opportunity which I am afraid I will loose. Can someone please email me at spaceshuttle2009@live.com so I can speak with one of you in person about what happend with you, your job, removal of records etc? I have an ACD with 3 day community service after which I will have to go to court again on 15th sept. I need help ASAP, please someone advice. Thanks. |
