Theft is defined as the knowing and intentional use or endeavor to use the property of another, whether permanently or temporarily.
There are varying degrees of theft, and theft can be a misdemeanor, referred to as petit theft, or a felony referred to as grand theft. Depending on the value of the item(s) stolen and your prior criminal history, the maximum punishment can range from 60 days in county jail to 30 years in prison.
Even if you didn’t steal an item, but you knew or should have known it was stolen, and sold or trafficked that item, you could face a charge of dealing in stolen property. Dealing in stolen property is a 2nd degree felony with a punishment of up to 15 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
As an experienced, board certified criminal defense attorney, Karen J. Tufte can properly evaluate your case, explain the law and potential ramifications, make you aware of your options and help you achieve the best resolution possible.
