What is the sentence for grand larceny if convicted in the state of Nevada?

Answer 1

I submitted the following revision of the original answer. I wanted to clarify something. I am not saying that the original response was completely incorrect. What I meant is that the original response could use some clarification, which is what I tried to produce below. I took the original response to be incomplete as well as incorrect. It seems like there was information missing. We need to keep the following NRS information in mind when considering the issue. Value of stolen property, type of property stolen, any mandatory minimums, state maximums, any judge's discretion possible (maybe in regards to priors, changes of recitivism, etc...), etc... all weigh into the discussion. See the NRS grand larceny definitions and penalties below for a more thorough understanding and consider all responses to be information in nature only and not legal counsel or advice. You should seek legal counsel from a qualified professional if faced with any sort of problem like this. I am not by any means an expert, but I find the previously given answer to be incorrect. The first person said: It can be probation - depending on the judge. Many cases get 12 months and/or a $2500 Your case might bring more time. If a firearm was used the sentence is doubled. When I looked it up on http://www.leg.state.nv.us/NRS/NRS-205.html#NRS205Sec220 (online NRS), I found the following information: NRS 205.220 Grand larceny: Definition.

Answer 2

More info please. From the question it sounds as if you were charged with TWO separate offenses. Grand Larceny is a "property" crime. However, if you brandished a firearm during the commission of the Larceny then it would become Armed Robbery, a much more serious offense.

Answer 3

A sentence for grand larceny like all other sentencing depends on the persons prior criminal history. It could range from a fine and probation to 3 to 7 years in state prison.
