    Default Arrested for Shoplifting

    I was arrested for a shoplifting of 420 $
    Fingerprints had been taken and citation filed.
    Any idea what would be the charges ?

    I dont have any past records.
    Can i request for a diversion program or probation? what is the eligibility criteria for it?
    I am an immigrant(frm korea) here and can i go back to my home country when i am in probation or a diversion program? wil that period also count in ?

    Is there a possibilty for jail sentence for this offense?
    will a court appointed defense attorney be helpful? Please help
    I am in MN

    I found out that the case says gross misdemeanor.
    Is felony different from this ?

    Is there a possibility for probation/diversion program under this?

    Ok. Will do so.
    And if I need to pay a fine, how much wilh that be or the maximum charge under this section?

    Should I be paying the civil demand as well which the store will be sending?
    The items were returned intact without any damage. Will they still charge me for those items?

    Fines vary no one can say for sure. Civil Demnd will be close to State max because of high dollar maount
