Re: Theft less than 100.00

A theft of less than $100 is a class 3 misdemeanor and can carry up to 6 months in jail and a $750 fine. A municipality has concurrent jurisdiction to charge shoplifting and the penalties vary with the community. Usually with a first offense, the worst you are looking at is to pay the money back and probation or community service. If you have been arrested a bunch of times, you can expect jail.
