My question involves criminal law for the state of: Nevada
I am 19 and I was caught Saturday stealing three bottles of rum for a total of $38 from Wal-Mart. The employees caught me and a friend on tape concealing the bottles in a comforter in the store, paying for the comforter and not the alcohol, and walking out with the above-mentioned items. Once they stopped us, they called the police who then wrote a citation for both me and my friend. We were both charged with petit larceny and an MIP (minor in possession).
I would like to know what kind of penalties I'll be facing, what my options would be in terms of representation, and what possible effects this could have on future employment and college scholarships.
Thank you.
