I am in my early 40's.
2004 April... I was arrested first time for petty theft at Safeway in California ($ 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... I'm caught walking out the door by an LP at COSTCO in California, who brings me back to the office,
(Shoplifting charges $ 250 in 2 bottle of alcohol)
My Costco membership is revoked for two years and the police is called.
I'm lead out by an officer in handcuffs and I spend 3 days in jail (charges PC 484/666, 1203.2)
I checked with my attorney, he told: 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 & he will represent
me on the day I have to be appearing on the court.
He also told me that I must wait a little time to obtaining of letter from COSTCO & Court.
I also start AA meeting and Alcohol and Psychological Treatment in Counseling Center.
…….It’s April and I still haven't received anything from COSTCO or Court.
Does anyone know if its possible I will just never receive it ?
