Re: shoplifting

Shoplifting can be a Class A or B misdemeanor. It can also be a felony depending upon the value of the property stolen. A juvenile record is not "cleared" just by turning 18 years of age. It will stay with you for life unless you take action. You should see a criminal defense attorney in your area who handles juvenile cases.
