What does no PC found mean?

Jay A. Rigdon
Answered by attorney Jay A. Rigdon
Criminal Law lawyer at Rockhill Pinnick LLP
It means no probable cause was found, which was why an arrest warrant was not issued. You still need to go per the summons until the case shows dismissed.

Do they usually give a chance to pay the fines by mail on the first retail theft instead of going to court?

Answered by attorney Stephen Lewis Freeborn (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Freeborn Law Offices P.S.
No. Retail theft (shoplift) is a crime punishable by up to a year in jail and a $5,000.00 fine. The fact that you only stole $30.00 worth of stuff is immaterial. You will have to appear in court. My advice: hire an attorney.

Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced criminal defense attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your situation. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.
