My question involves criminal law for the state of: Arizona
My dumb ass bf got caught shop lifting his 2nd time within a month id say. First time was at Walmart that question was posted in this forum.. This time he got caught with $90 at Safeway. Sense the amount was so high Safeway called the police on him. He was cited and released. He has a court date on the 26th of March.
I've been digging around the internet it states a 3rd shop lifting charge within a 5 year period turns into a felony. Other websites it states the 2nd shop lifting charge can be a felony 4.
What will happen at his court date. His first shop lifting charge he got dismissed. He got very lucky. I don't think his 2nd shop lifting charge they will be so nice.
