Possible Sentencing for Theft Crime Convictions

When it comes to theft crimes, the severity of the charges depends on the valuation of what was stolen. Theft crime convictions valued at less than $1,500 of stolen goods would typically be charged as a misdemeanor. This would be punishable by no more than 1 year in county jail and a $4,000 fine, though sentencing could be much more lenient, especially if the amount stolen was less than $500.

For theft involving $1,500 or more, the offense will be charged as a felony. If it’s a state jail felony, it could mean up to 2 years in state jail and a $10,000 fine. If the theft involves $20,000 or more, it can be a third-degree felony with up to 10 years in prison. For six-figure theft or more, it can be a second-degree felony, with an up to 20-year prison sentence, while it is possible to get a first-degree felony charge for theft involving $200,000 or more. This could mean being sentenced to 5 to 99 years in prison.
