    Exclamation Juvenile Caught Shoplifting

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: New Jersey

    I am 16. Two days ago, I was caught shoplifting at JC Pennys. My merchandise was worth $275. Then the police came and arrested me.
    I know I have the wait for the letter to come which will take a month.

    but I was wondering what will the maximum fine be?
    and will I definitely have to go to court?

    You're looking at a Civil Demand of around $500.

    Since the police were involved, court is a very good possibility. That will depend on whether JCP decides to pursue the charges.

    If police do arrest someone, but the store does not pursue the criminal charges, they're dropped?

    If you're charged, don't get your hopes up that the store will change its mind.
