Re: Class B felony-theft

Yes, it is possible to avoid jail. The best advice is for your friend to seek the counsel of an attorney to represent him in criminal court. If he is able to pay back the money stolen, he should do that as soon as possible. That will not preclude punishment but is something the court is going to require anyway.
