    Default Three Misdemeanor Arrests

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Oregon

    I was arrested at QFC three weeks ago for petty theft under $40 and was fingerprinted and released the same day. The judge dropped my charge to a violation and sentenced me to attend a Theft Accountability Class. I was again arrested yesterday at Walmart for petty theft and taken in and released the same afternoon. I also have a pending violation charge in California.

    My question is what is going to happen with this third arrest? As the previous charges have been violations, and are still open cases, will I face a misdemeanor charge or a felony? Will I have to do time in jail or community service?

    PS. I am starting therapy now and relinquishing my days as a petty thief

    Thanks for the advice

    You have asked this as a question about sentencing. The best person to ask about possible sentences is your lawyer. As a general rule, with each new crime you choose to commit you can expect an increased sentence. So you get a violation the first time, a misdemeanor conviction (and probation?) the second time, and then... you start putting jail time on the table.
