Theft Charge Dismissed

A lady in her late thirties was shopping at Kroger and acting on impulse made a very unwise choice. She decided to shoplift items from the store. Prior to exiting the store, she was stopped by loss prevention and escorted back to their office. She was then questioned about the items and confessed to taking them. She was charged with theft and then released.

Our client had no previous criminal history. She was beyond embarrassed at her predicament. A theft conviction could leave a stain on her background that would last a lifetime. After doing research online, she contacted the Columbus Criminal Defense team for help.

With her lack of previous criminal record, our attorneys were able to negotiate the dismissal of her case for payment of court costs and her attendance at an anti-theft program.

The dismissal and subsequent expungement or sealing of the record in her case will completely remove this unfortunate incident from her criminal record. She will once again have a legal clean slate and no doubt learned a great deal from the process.
