Q: What happens when u r charged with theft of property3 and it was for $90.00 worth of stuff?stuff was given right back
A:
Theft of property in the third degree is a Class A misdemeanor. The charge carries a range of punishment of up to one year in the county jail (or up to 6 months in some cities). Depending on the situation, you could be looking at a criminal conviction and a sentence as serious as jail time, or an outcome as minor as pretrial diversion where you don't even have a conviction on your record. I would encourage you to contact an attorney as soon as possible to review your options and to prepare your defense.
