Am I going to get locked up for this?

Question

Today I made one of the single most worst mistakes in my life. I shop lifted at Walmart and I got caught. I'm 23, they had pur me in handcuffs and but the loss prevention person spared me and I wasn't arrested tonight. But I have a court date October 23, and I know I have to pay a fine. What would happen to me? this is my first crime and and it will be my last, but please tell me what would happen? I know I made a terrible decission. PLEASE BE SERIOUS, NO CRAZY ANSWERS!

thank you

Answer 1

If there's a fine you have to pay it. There might be community service too. I don't know if you will have to report it on job applications or for passports/travel.

Answer 2

More than likely you'll just be fined.  

Answer 3

I would not think you would do any jail time since they let you go. You will probably have to pay a fine possibly serve some community service type work and be banned from the store permanently.
