I stole some money from a cash register in the grocery store that was left open and now I am being charged with class C felony theft. What are the different types of classes of felony theft and what does it mean for me that I am charged with class C felony theft instead of class A, B or D. I live in Alabama by the way.
What are the penalties for a Class C Felony in Alabama for Stealing from a Cash Register?

Answer: (1)
The different types of felony theft largely relate to the amount of money you stole. In Alabama, Class C felonies occur when the value of property stolen is between $500 and $2500. The minimum penalties for a Class C felony are one year and one day in jail, as well as fines, fees and court costs. You should speak with a criminal lawyer as soon as possible about the potential penalties you face and about building a defense to present in court on these charges.
