More details to this question:
I was working for a company. I was ringing up merchandise then refunding it on my debit card, about $3,000.00 total. The bank sent me a letter notifying me a detective requested my bank records. I contacted him and he said he would give me a week or two to get my ducks in a row and I could turn myself in before a warrant is issued. I have never been into trouble in this state. Also, the last time I was into trouble was 2 1/2 years ago and charges were dropped. How long will I stay in jail? I have no means to post bail. What are my chances of them giving me no jail time or reducing the charge?

You will be eligible for probation on a Class C felony, depending on the guilty plea negotiations (assuming you enter a plea deal), and your attorney may negotiate your case to an even less serious (such as a lower category or a gross misdemeanor). It is also possible for your attorney to obtain a guilty plea offer from the District Attorney's office that involves a "no opposition to probation" term, which would make it very likely that the court would impose probation rather than any incarceration. Your lack of criminal history will weigh strongly in your favor.
