It depends if you were charged with just shoplifting or misdemeanor larceny. Misdemeanor larceny carries a sentence of up to 120 days in jail and shoplifting is up to 60 days.If it is your first offense, many counties have first offenders programs where you can do community service, pay a fee, and eventually get it dismissed if you do not get into further trouble for a 6 month period. If this incident occurred in Forsyth county, you can call me at (336) 761-5004 for further information.
