asked her to report to the police station and has the right to show or not show. My sister showed up and talked with the detective. My cousin is charged with 1 charge Class C Felony for it being a little over 1000.00. The detective he talked to said there shouldnt be much to worry about since my sister was coopertive and was willing admitted to what she did and the detective also said he'll put in a good word for him since she has a clean record. I was just wondering does she really have nothing to worry about other than probation or will she have a greater sentence? we live in Arkansas

Let me tell you what you cousin did. She did the right thing after being caught. She admitted her mistake and is assuming responsibility for it. Now, by her cooperation, the detective is going to relay that to the prosecutor and try not to make things harder for her. She will have to pay back the money that she stole and will probably be on probation to do that with some jail time over her head if she does not pay it back and if she does not get in any more trouble. All this depending on it being her first offense. I don't care what the lawyer says, if she did it, and I am sure that the cameras that Wal-mart has will prove that, then she can save herself greif by streamlining the system for the police, the prosecution, and the courts. Good Luck to her and I hope she doesn't make this mistake again.

Get a No Cost Background Check Scan at https://bitly.im/aNQfI
Its a sensible way to start. The site allows you to do a no cost scan simply to find out if any sort of data is in existence. A smaller analysis is done without cost. To get a detailed report its a modest payment.
You may not realize how many good reasons there are to try and find out more about the people around you. After all, whether you're talking about new friends, employees, doctors, caretakers for elderly family members, or even significant others, you, as a citizen, have a right to know whether the people you surround yourself with are who they say they are. This goes double in any situation that involves your children, which not only includes teachers and babysitters, but also scout masters, little league coaches and others. Bottom line, if you want to find out more about someone, you should perform a background check.

When someone uses a credit card that is not there's that is Grand Larceny because the amount was more than $500. They can charge her and force her to get a bail bond. I don't care what the detective told her, they can arrest her and put her in jail until a judge rules in a preliminary hearing. Why is it that no one can just be honest? Theft is a charge that is a felony. Hopefully she learned her lesson, if not I guess the courts will see a lot of her!

That all depends on the judge, etc. She may get a suspended sentence, some community service. Is she under 18? Since she cooperated ( good thing! they had her pegged anyway ), she may get off fairly easy, but she will deserve some punishment for the problems she caused the person who's card she stole, police time, etc. She should look on this as a learning experience, and move on, take her bad medicine, and hopefully be a productive citizen in time with no such thoughts. Wish her luck! - The Gremlin Guy -

A thousand dollars on a stolen credit card?? Why did she have a stolen credit card in her possession?? Did she steal it? Did she find it on the ground and figure that it was hers now? How can a person spend a thousand dollars on a credit card that is not thiers and NOT realize it?
That's going to cause all kinds of nightmares for the person who owns the credit card and hasn't realized that it's missing, yet. SOMEONE is going to have to pay for the merchandise that was bought...
If it were one of my loved ones, I would be heartbroken over the facts. But I would know that the law applies to all, not just "other" people. I would commit to being supportive of that family member and visiting them as often as possible... but I would understand that a choice for criminal behavior is a choice for criminal treatment.
She will probably get a punishment that fits her crime.

I hate to say it, but a felony is still a felony. Even though the detective said that she doesn't have anything to worry about, I wouldn't believe it. If convicted, she'll be looking at possible incarceration and more than likely, a hefty fine. In addition, she'll be required to list her felony on any job applications she fills out later in life.

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time. she will be lucky if it goes with probation only, as they said first time helps. It may be more of a nuisance as she gets older and has a record, missed chances such as promotions and job opportunities. Why did that seem like a good idea to her?

never talk to the police without a lawyer present. why put yourself in position to be outwitted by the cop? as soon as rights are read clam up make your phone call and just smile.

probably just get probation if she has a clean record and community service in lieu of jail time. but don't be soft on your sis, if she does it again she is screwed.
