    Default Juvenile Arrested for Burglary and Shoplifting

    My son is 17 years old, and we reside in California. Earlier this week he was arrested for shoplifting over $700 in merchandise from a department store. This is my sons first time ever being arrested or getting in trouble with the law. I am very scared for my son, and want to prepare myself. What is going to happen to him? Please, any help is greatly appreciated.

    Default California Shoplifting Arrest

    In all likelihood, from what you have said, if your son is adjudicated guilty he will be sentenced to probation and a fine, with a possibility of community service (or a similar additional requirement). To get any real degree of certainty, though, you should have your son's situation reviewed by a local criminal defense lawyer.

    Aaron, thank you so much. Is there any chance he could end up in a juv. detention center or jail time? Also, he will be 18 in november. Does that have any affect on anything?

    Default Chances

    Probably, he's looking at probation. As the offense carries a possible sentence of incarceration, there is always a chance that will happen. But to get a good answer to your questions, you need to consult a local criminal defense attorney.
