    Default Penalties for Fraud With a Financial Transaction Device

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Minnesota

    My friend is having a very hard time right now. She got charged with

    Finance Trans Card Fraud-Value $251 - $2,500.

    First she was in meeker county jail on 5th degree drug charge she was let out & rearrested she went back into jail in another county of Minnesota she missed court on this charge.. I see that it's possible she could spend 1 year in jail on this charge if she don't have any others theft charges.

    She did get charged with a petty shop lifting charge but unsure of the time frame.

    The 5th degree drug charge she could get a gross misdemeanor as this is her first drug charge ever.

    What do you guys think? What kinda time do u think she will serve for both charges? She's in jail at the moment she's being held on the theft charge.

    Thanks for helping me everyone on this forum.

    She's already doing time. She violated her bond, and is incarcerated.

    How much time might she get when convicted? That will depend upon factors including her entire record, the facts of the offenses, and the court's impressions of her. Her criminal defense lawyer may be able to give her an estimate, or perhaps can try to negotiate a plea deal that includes a specific sentence recommendation or the judge's consent to a specific sentence.

    I should clarify I'm not sure if she was let out of jail or they transferred her from one jail to another. I think she had a warrant from this fraud charge 6 months ago. Unsure about a bond. I mean she now has one in the jail she's at.
