It depends on the jurisdiction of the Court. In the NYC area, you probably will receive a non-criminal violation and a fine and perhaps community service. Many other factor could come into play like your age or did you pay it back before your arrest.

You will likely be charged with a misdemeanor"petit larceny". You should retain a competent criminal defense attorney. That attorney will negotiate so as to prevent you from having a criminal conviction on your record. The fact that you made restitution enuers to your benefit ,but does deny you any opportunities to deny the allegations at a trial. That being said your only option is a skillful plea negotiation. I handle matters such as yours on a daily basis. You may contact my office @ 718-834-0087
