My question involves criminal law for the state of: North Carolina, Chowan County
To start this off. Hello to all that are reading this.
Now my legal bind began when I was arrested less than a week ago for stealing two 16 fluid ounce beer cans at my local dollar general. How it went was I walked into the store, Got the beers & then the manager politely asked me if I had any merchandise in my posession. So I kindly fessed up to her and gave her back the beer. Then she proceeded to call the local police force to arrest me. I was charged with shoplifting which is a class 1 misdemeanor and underage possesion of alcohol, a class 2 misdemeanor since I am currently only 16 going to be 17 in a two weeks. I'm just wondering since I have a clean record. What could be the consequence & cost of any fees I'd have to pay when I have to go to court later in the month? Am I facing Jailtime, Probabtion or community service? I just need a little insight/ advice to help me here. Thank you for reading & hopefully replying to my issue with some help.
