No, as a first time offender, you are unlikely to be
sentenced to serve any actual jail time for this minimal misdemeanor offense (theft of clothing valued at $47) unless you were charged in Prince William County, but, nevertheless, you should still have an experienced criminal defense counsel representing you to have some assurance for
an optimal outcome in the case.
