Arrested for Shoplifting? Get the Help You Need.

Have you ever assumed that taking that small item from the store will not be that big of a deal? Well, you may now be facing criminal charges for shoplifting. Shoplifting is the crime of knowingly and willingly taking or concealing goods or property from a retail establishment with the intent to not pay for them.

In some cases, even altering the price of a good and paying a portion lower than the original price can result in a criminal charge.

When you work with our team, you can rest assured that your case will be in good hands.

What Are the Penalties for Shoplifting in Idaho?

In most cases, shoplifting charges are considered petty theft crimes; they typically involve a crime in which the goods that were taken have been determined to value less than $1,000. While these are sometimes referred to as "lesser" crimes, they still carry major penalties, and you risk having your charges increased to a felony.

If you are tried and convicted, you could be punished with:

  • Fines
  • Up to six months of jail time
  • Community service
  • Restitution to the victims

Prosecutors will take into consideration a variety of circumstances, including your past criminal record, the amount of goods taken and how the items were obtained. If force or fear were involved, you may be facing a burglary or robbery charge. The moment you are detained by law enforcement, you need to think about taking actions to protect your future. You need to contact Bublitz Law, P.C. as soon as possible.
