Depends upon how much money was taken and the circumstances

under which it was taken.

Embezzlement itself in the Commonwealth is defined as larceny

which can be either grand or petit, per Va. Code Sec. 18.2-95

or Va. Code Sec. 18.2-96, respectively. (Petty larceny

is classified as a Class 1 misdemeanor rather than a felony.)
