    Default Petit Larceny in New York

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: New York
    I have been arrested for Petit Larceny for borrowing a girls cell phone and sending a pic on her phone to my email before returning her phone to her. She saw that it was sent and she didnt give me permission and went to the campus police who forwarded the case to the town and I got an appearence ticket for Petit Larceny. I have a background of 'Falsely reporting an incident' but was put on aggressive rehab and it has ends this january. I recently have been charged with petit larceny and am curious as to if I am going to see jail time for this incidence given that I do have a slight background? I have never been in trouble for any larceny or anything and I am a full time student and full time employee at age 21. What is the likliness of me seeing jail time? If not, what will I be likely to see as a punishment?

    The best person to ask is a lawyer. I think since you only have one prior charge and this is a misdemeanor that probation and/or a fine is the likely outcome. The bigger concerns are how a conviction for theft would affect employment,apts and other things in the future. An acd would be a good outcome but the prior charge might erase that as an option. I would try to hire a lawyer or see if you can get a public defender. Plead not guilty and see ask if a reduction to something like disorderly conduct is possible. In ny that is a non criminal offense and it also sounds a lot better then theft. A lawyer might be able to argue that this was more a prank then theft and that u are remorseful. It would a good to stop playing jokes b.c even things which are small in your can cause much legal trouble. Good luck.
