Re: using someone else's credit card

If he gets caught, it looks like the maximum penalty would be 3 years in state prison. However, if this were to be his first offense, he would most likely to get probation with or without some time in county jail. Maximum of county jail time with probation would be 1 year.

Hope this helps,
