Legal Answer
The maximum penalty for theft under $500.00 is eighteen months incarceration and a fine. If convicted, your sentence will depend on the nature of the victim, whether you have made restitution, what the state requests, your prior criminal record, what you present, and who the judge is. A lawyer can help you assess all of these factors and help you seek the best result for you.
