Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

adjudicated guilty/delinquent

last year I was charged with grand theft, the DA lowered the charged to petit theft. I accepted the plea and paid restitution and court cost misdemeaner 001. this was all done via mail I had moved out of state ( with permission ) on the court records it states ADJUDICATED GUILTY/ DELINQUENT COUNT 001.

What does this mean?

Thank you

If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

In simple terms, it means that you were found guilty (adjudicated guilty) on Count I of the charging instrument. It also says you were declared a delinquent so I a guessing that you may be a minor.
