More details to this question:
My wife is on fertility treatments that sometimes put her head in a fog. She was shopping at a Walmart in Indiana when she wasn't thinking and walked out of the store without paying. When loss prevention stopped her she apologized and explained she wasn't thinking clearly and offered multiple times to go back and pay for the items but the employees refused and called the police. I was wondering what realistically we could be facing since neither of us have ever been in trouble before

The possible penalty depends on exactly how they charged it. This type of crime to be charged as an a misdemeanor which is punishable up to one year in jail or a level six felony which is punishable up to three years in jail. The possible outcome depends on many factors. The evidence they have, the amount that was attempted to be taken outside the store, her prior criminal history, and also the county where she was charged. As it is it jailable offense she will need to hire internally. Feel free to contact me
