Dear Suzette,

Thank you for your post. The answer to your question would depend on what state your friend was charged and then the specifics of that particular state law... In some states, if the value of the property stolen is more than $100, that can form the basis for a felony. In some states, the threshold amount is a value greater than $400. If you would like legal assistance, please contact our law firm toll free at 888-775-3779.
