Best Answer

If this is your first offense, there will be no jail time. Jail time is up to the judge depending on value of merchandise and history of the offender. You can get 3 months in jail and up to 6 months in prison depending on the class of felony. Theft in Indiana is a felony but can be put under a misdemeanor.
