    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?
