The charges for the first time offense of UNDER $ 150 retail theft in Illinois is Class A misdemeanor. The second time Class 4 Felony. Over $150 for a retail theft is a class 4 felony, even for the first time. However, if the theft is not from a retail store, then under $300 is still a misdemeanor. Over $300 it becomes a felony.

This question depends on where you are going to court. Minimums are set by state or local law.Added: The MINIMUM jail time for a felony offense is more than one year plus one day in jail.
