Can I go to Jail over this accusation?

Question

I was at this party on friday and today I recieve a call saying that someone stole a gun at the party and everyone thinks its me because I was the only one they saw go down to the first floor (which I did to take a p**s becuase omeone was in the upstairs bathroom) But I definitly didnt take it and theirs been other **** stolen over their before (my girlfreinds wallet for instance, the b******s) even when I wasnt their so whoever steals **** usually is the real culprit. but anyways This one couple is saying that they saw me down their with the gun case (I dont even know what it looks like) and their full of ****. I'm jut a little worried and was wonderin if I could be locked up just becuase these lying baseheads (I've seen them do it, and pretty sure that their the theives) said I did it? By the way I live in the state of virginia.

Answer 1

Depending on the value of the gun, it could be charged as a misdemeanor of felony.  usually a felony starts at about $300-$500...which most guns usually cost more than that amount.  

You could go to prison if they want to press charges, which it sounds like they do.  

Best of luck to you
