    Information on shoplifting
    Recently caught in walmart for shoplifting 15 dollars worth of stuff... was arrested and bailed out. Walmart did get their belongings back. Also, I was not charged with misdemeanor or felony just a citation... what will happen when I go to court in may? Do I face any time? I mean, this is my first time I have ever got in any trouble with the law and first time being arrested so I would think they would give me some type of slack. I live in GA so I don't know what to expect. LOL... Does anyone know what I face?

    If you received a Citation you were charged with something - probably a misdemeanor. The fact that you had to be bailed out indicates you were arrested.

    I would expect a fine, possibly some sort of public service, a stern lecture. I don't see jail time if this is your first offense.
