    Default Charged with Retail Theft in Illinois

    I was in Zumies in the mall and I walked out with a 20 dollar t shirt thinking the guy didnt see me. well apparently he did and he caught up with me, called the police and yeah i was handcuffed brought to the station and charged. I cooperated and everything no false names. It is my first offense and I just turned 18 in August. WHAT DO YOU THINK MY CONSEQUENCES ARE GOING TO BE??? my court date is on October 15th. Someones please give me some advice.

    What state is this? In Texas the worst you could face is a 500 dollar fine.

    I advice you seek a attorney. If you cannot afford one the court will appoint one for you.

    If your record is clean, you can reasonably expect a sentence of probation, fines, and possibly community service. (Individual experiences may vary.) You may wish to consult a local criminal defense lawyer, as you may be eligible for a diversion program or deferment which will enable you to avoid a criminal conviction.

    I just wanted to ask if they gave you the court date THE DAY you got arrested? Or did they mail you a courtdate a couple weeks after?

    Anyways, try to discuss options with an attorney.
