    Default What Happens to a Minor Charged with a Summary Offense for Shoplifting

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Pennsylvania.

    What will likely happen regarding a summary offense?
    In an incredibly stupid lapse of judgement,
    I took $214 worth of stuff from a Kohls in Pennsylvania.

    I am 17.
    They agreed to let me off with a $149 summary offense so I wouldn't have to
    a get a misdemeanor.

    Monday, I am going to pay my summons.
    What other fees will I likely face? I am also expecting one from Kohls.

    Tomorrow, I am going to get my retail theft fingerprints done. Then what?

    I am attending a university in the fall, an above average student, and trying very hard to get a job.
    Thank you.

    Tomorrow, I am going to be fingerprinted to check for prior shoplifting arrests. They will not find any. What else will happen?

    If you want to know what assessments you are likely to face in a specific court for a specific charge, consult a local lawyer. There are dozens of threads in this forum with ballpark estimates; but all we can go is make the same sort of educated guess.

    This is in juvenile court?
