Retail theft, in the state of Florida, under $299 is a misd. The fines and court cost can be up to $500 and you could spend up to a year in jail. Will that occur probably not. Your sentencing depends on if you have ever been arrested before and the severity of the offence. Also retail stores can impose a civil restitution fine on you as well. If you have never been in trouble before you are probably looking at probation and some court cost.

Can a person get served to appear in court for an unpaid bill?
That depends on what you mean by "served to appear in court". If you received a summons and complaint on an unpaid bill, you are required to file a written answer to the complaint and file it within a certain time period. You will not be summoned to appear in court in the same way that you would have to appear on a traffic ticket that requires a court appearance. Of course, on the unpaid bill, if you do not show up on any scheduled trial date, a judgment will probably be entered against you for at least the amount of the bill. You will not be arrested for not showing up for a civil matter.
