First time felony theft in Maryland

I was charged with felony theft from my old job. I was charged with felony charge over 500 dollars. the full amount is 612 dollars. i have paid 220 so far but i broke my leg and have not been able to work since. my question is what is the level of punishment that i can get for this? Also it is in Prince George's county first time offense and a clean record.
