My question involves criminal law for the state of: Ohio
So a few days ago my friend and i got caught stealing. I am 18, she's 17, shell be 18 in a month. What she stole was $3.98. Walmart brought us into the LP office and then called the police, ultimately we were arrested. My friend was let go. I was charged with Theft and Contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The only time i touched what she stole was when i grabbed it off the shelf and gave her it, she couldn't reach it. I thought she was going to buy the item, but i heard her rip the box open and then i started to look around after that, i was told that was me being a look out but truthfully i was trying to see if there were people so i could leave my friend and call someone to get me. The item was found on her, but I'm the only one being charged. I just want to know if theres a possibility I'm going to go to jail over this, I've never been in trouble. in my whole life. I've never cheated, lied, or stolen. The woman who booked me into the jail said the worst thing thats gonna happen to me is I'm going to be on probation and pay a fine, which i am 100% okay with. Do you think i can get a plea deal? I'm worrying myself sick over this.
