I was recently caught shop lifting in Rochester, Michigan. The items were 20 dollar headphones, two ten dollar shirts, one 30 dollar athletic pants, a pack of shaving razor blades, and hair gel. It was really stupid of me to do it and i don't know why i ever did so. I consider it my biggest regret of my life. I am 17 years old. When i got caught they called the police the officer wrote me up but didn't take me into custody. Also, the store had a policy that i had to pay 200 dollars to them plus the amount i had stolen (around 89) so the total was 289 dollars. I had to pay this back within a month. I have done this part of the process. I want this to end cleanly. I have to go to court on April 27th and i am just planning to plead guilty. I have never had anything against my records ever in my life, and this is the first time i've done ANYTHING that is against the law. I'm really scared about all of this. On the court date information it says retail fraud 3rd degree and i could recieve a maximum fine of 500 dollars or 93 days of imprisonment. My question is, is it possible that i could be sent to jail?!?!?!?
thank you
