A: I'm guessing that you were already arrested and taken to jail on this charge before you bonded out. So, you probably already know that you can go to jail. Whether you will have to serve additional jail or prison time is impossible to determine without knowing more facts about the crime, your criminal history, the jurisdiction of the offense, and several other factors.

Because the amount was over $500, you are likely facing a felony charge. You should seriously consider finding an attorney to represent you. Even if you can avoid jail/prison time, a theft conviction on your record is going to make it very difficult to get a job.
