QUESTION
Can I avoid jail with merchant theft?
Asked on Sep 03rd, 2015 on Criminal Law - Pennsylvania
More details to this question:
I have a charge and a preliminary court date for a first time ever theft from a store. Is there any way to avoid jail time if it’s my fist run in with the law? I took baby cloths and a stroller. I am the only provider in my home with a 2 year old and a disabled husband. Please help and thanks in advance.

You won't go to jail. I would consult with a criminal defense attorney as to your options. You may be able to have the charged dismissed in exchange for you completing a program.
