Grand Theft
Theft is defined as the unlawful taking of the personal property of another without proper consent and with the intent to deprive the victim of the ownership or use thereof. Florida designates petit theft as the taking of anything that is worth less than $300, and the taking of anything worth $300 or more as grand theft. The difference is that grand theft is a felony, carrying more serious penalties that include prison.
It is imperative that a person arrested for Grand Theft contact an attorney immediately. An experienced attorney familiar with the differences in Florida theft law can make sure their client is being properly charged and ensure that all proper defenses are raised based on the facts of the case and the nature of the arrest. Many times the crime of Grand Theft is alleged when in fact only a petit theft has occurred. The difference is significant given that Grand Theft is a felony and petit theft is a misdemeanor.
