About Shoplifting Charges
Shoplifting charges are categorized according to the value of goods stolen. A fourth degree shoplifting charge is usually charged for goods stolen with a value between $200 and $500 and may be charged as a felony punishable by up to 18 months in prison and fines of up to $10,000. This charge may be reduced to a misdemeanor if the accused does not have prior convictions.
Misdemeanor shoplifting usually involves stealing merchandise valued at less than $200 and is charged as a disorderly persons offense. This type of shoplifting charge may be punishable by fines, restitution, up to six months in jail, community service, probation, and even a driver's license suspension. If you are convicted, you will have a criminal record which can have an adverse effect on job and educational opportunities in the future.
