What's the worst that can happen if I was caught stealing $100 and will this first offense be on my record?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Andrea Rogers (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at The Rogers Law Firm
In Missouri, a conviction for stealing under $500 has a potential sentence of a fine of $1,000 and 1 year in jail. You need to hire an attorney to keep this off your record, or ask the judge to appoint a public defender.

What happens when you get caught with marijuana in your vehicle a second time?

Harley Ives Gutin
Answered by attorney Harley Ives Gutin
Criminal Law lawyer at Gutin Wolverton
Depends on the prosecutor and of course the Judge. I have obtained favorable results on second and third possession of cannabis charges. You just need to find a good attorney in your immediate area.

Can a bench warrant be dismissed?

Christopher John McCann
Answered by attorney Christopher John McCann
Criminal Law lawyer at The Law Offices of Christopher J. McCann
It is unlikely to be dismissed. He should have sent a demand letter to the DA under Penal Code 1381 to prosecute him or dismiss it within 90 days. Now it is too late. Best thing to do is to have an attorney appear immediately and get the warrant recalled without him there so he doesn't get held longer while they transport him all the way back to court for a misdemeanor.
