Case Withdrawn For A 20-Year-Old Student Charged With Shoplifting

A 20-year-old psychology student at the California University of Pennsylvania found himself in hot water, when he was charged with retail theft after shoplifting at an area dollar store. The young man had no prior criminal history, but potentially faced a maximum sentence of 90 days in jail along with fines of up to $300. The man was worried about these penalties, but more importantly, his goal was to avoid having later trouble getting a job or being admitted to grad school, so he contacted Worgul, Sarna & Ness, Criminal Defense Attorneys, LLC.

Our defense team negotiated with the commonwealth to withdraw the charges based on our client completing a retail theft education class. At this time, the young man has already met this condition and we are in the process of expunging the shoplifting case from his record.

The outcome of an individual case depends on a variety of factors unique to that case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any similar or future case.
