ops:
I am in my early 40's.
2004 April I was arrested first time for petty theft at Safeway ($ 85 in 2 bottle of alcohol)
No police or jail time…$270 civil demand 4 Safeway
Court Charges: 484/488 petty theft
3 year probation
5 days work Alternative program $150+$120
3 hr. AA meeting per 2 month.
2005 December
Shoplifting charges at COSTCO ($ 250 in 2 bottle of alcohol)
Police arrest me and I spend 3 days in jail (charges PC 484/666, 1203.2)
I have a court date coming up in month or so....
I know that a second arrest for petty theft may be filed and punished as a felony
and carries a maximum of one year in either county jail or state prison.
I’m looking for Criminal Attorney, assumed this would be the best way to go…..
I also start AA meeting again and Alcohol and Psychological Treatment in Counseling Center.
Any reasoning what will be my punishment for this, I’m very worried about jail time !!!
Any posts are appreciated.
Thank you for your time and help.
