Grand Theft
A theft is defined by Florida Statues as happening when a person knowingly obtains or uses, or endeavors to obtain to use, the property of another with intent to either temporarily or permanently: a) deprive the other person of a right to the property or a benefit from the property, b) appropriate the property to his or her own use or to the use of any person not entitled to the use of the property.
The Felony part of the charge, the “Grand”, comes from the amount of the theft. A theft of over $300 constitutes a Felony of the Third Degree. Higher amounts of the theft and circumstances can create Second Degree and possibly First Degree Felonies.
Grand Theft charges can be as simple as a shoplifting from a retail store where the value exceeds $300. Do not however take any Felony charge lightly, where possible consequences include a Felony Conviction, large fines, and Prison.
