Max is 5 years Florida State Prison.
At first appearance or arraignment you will be told what the exact nature of the charges are and you will enter a plea. You can either plea guilty, not guilty, or no contest. I would plead not guilty until you learn more about the case.
If you have never been in trouble before you may be eligible for the pre-trial intervention program which will result in your charges being dismissed.
If you are located anywhere in the southern part of the state give me a ring and I may be able to help.
Take care,

Re: Larceny-third degree felony
What is going to happen depends on a number of factors, including whether you have a criminal past or not. If not, it is likely the prosecutor will offer you a program where you do a number of community service hours, maybe a class of some sort, and then the charges will be dropped. If you do have priors, you will likely not be eligible. In that case, the range of penalties increases depending on the wishes of the victim, the number of prior offenses, and other factors.
