BFF Caught Shoplifting?

Question

My Best friend got caught shoplifting at Kohl's today with over $150 dollars worth of cosmetics! She said she has a court date.Whats gonna happen to her? She is 14.Is it possible she can go to jail...school starts next week.

Answer 1

If she is lucky she may be let off with a warning. Kohls can actually demand she not enter any of their stores in the future.

I hope she wakes up to herself.

Answer 2

She's not likely to get jail if this is her first offense. She is likely to be put on probation, do community service and pay restitution.

Answer 3

It depends on the city/state where this occurred. But being she is 14, at most she could go to juvenile detention. If it is a first time offense, most likely just a monetary fine. Not good to be starting out stealing at age 14. maybe this will be a wake upp call to your friend.

Answer 4

Depends on the juridiction and the judge. Better hope she doesn't get that one in Tyler.

Answer 5

She will not go to jail especially on a first offense. There will however be probation and community service. Possibly an enforced letter of apology to Kohls and prohibited to enter ANY Kohls locations, EVER. The judge will defenitely place a fine and the court fees, usually not excedding $300.

Answer 6

Well it is quite possible this will go on her record. She may not go to jail but she will get a court date. She probably will also be able to attennd school because minor offences like that usually take months before the court date is set.
