What are the consequences of Felony Grand Theft Charges?
A felony theft charge is considered a serious offense which is punishable by more than one year of incarceration. In general, theft crimes involving the threat or use of force and/or a weapon are considered felony offenses and can also be charged as robbery charges. While white-collar crimes are typically non-violent crimes, this type of theft is often regarded as a felony crime. In addition to serving jail or prison time upon conviction of a theft crime, the offender may also be required to pay a fine, serve a probation or parole term, perform community service, and more. A person who commits theft against another is often required to compensate the victim for their losses and suffering.
