More details to this question:
She stole $350 dollars worth of stuff from the place she works at and is cared out of her mind. She wasn’t going to lie to them about it and they did a random investigation on her and said they do it to all employees. But we are wondering what charges she will get and if she’s going to go to jail. She is 18 and this is her first ever offense

Your friend could be charged with embezzlement since the items were stolen from her place of employment. If convicted, she would face up to one year in jail and a fine of up to three times the value of the items that she stole. She should speak with a criminal defense attorney soon.
