    Default Minor Caught Stealing At Work - What Can Happen?

    I have been stealing from my store in TN and i was caught. The total is about 800-1000$ worth of stuff. I am a minor and this is my first offense. Im hoping i can do anything to aviod juvy. I cant return the items but i would be willing to pay anything and do a lot of community service to aviod going to juvy.

    What can happen to me?

    Where you arrested? If yes you can face fines probabtion and community service along with some possible incarceration time.

    Im sure the company will be demanding that you pay a restitution for the amount you have stolen. This could be equal to the amount you took or higher.

    I am guessing the dollar value makes it a felony. However being first offense you might be able to cut a deal. Juvy is clearly on the table.

    Ok early in this thread you were asked were you arrested? Were you? If not this question is meaningless

    No i have not been. The store only knows i took some of it, not all. The amount they know i took would be a misdomenor. But im expecting the worst and them finding out.

    Im 17 and if i face any time in juvy, how long would a good estimate be?

    You have not been arrested yet. In fact have you even been called in to talk with HR,LP etc? Your putting the cart in front of the horse at this point.

    Helpful advice? Don't steal anymore! Outside of that since you hav enot been arrest, charged, or even spoken to about this there is nothing we can do for you
