Got arrested for shoplifting or theft in Kissimmee? The good news is that most first-time petit theft charges come with low bail. The bad news is that a third petit theft automatically becomes a felony in Florida. Here's the bail breakdown.
Theft Bail in Kissimmee
If a loved one is arrested for theft in Kissimmee, they will be taken to the Osceola County jail for booking. Because Kissimmee is located within Osceola County, all subsequent legal proceedings and court appearances for the charge will be handled by the Osceola County court system. Under Florida law, theft charges can range from misdemeanor petit theft to felony grand theft, depending on the value of the property involved.
Following the arrest, the defendant will typically appear before a judge for a first appearance hearing within 24 hours. During this hearing, the judge will officially review the charges and set the bail amount. Once the bail amount is determined by the court, you can take immediate steps to secure their release and get them back home to Kissimmee.
