Im 18 years old, and I got arrested on June 19 for shoplifting. My court date is on October 16 and I was wondering if anyone has been in this situation and what happened to you. Its a class B, it was 300 dollars worth and its my first offence. My friend had a class C and she got 3 months probation and shoplifting classes. What will happen? Anyone experience this?
