If you did not pay within the time set by the Court, it is likely that there is a bench warrant for your arrest. You should contact the Court and make arrangements to pay.

Good possibility as shoplift is punishable by a maximum penalty of a year in jail. Whether you go to jail is up to the judge.

Pay the damn thing and be done with you. Otherwise, it will come back to haunt you. Be responsible.

This is a Louisiana criminal defense question. Somehow it was posted to Florida Attorneys. You need to ask this of an attorney in your state.
