Out-Of-State Theft

[colmcille]

i recently was visiting a freind out-of-state when i was captured shoplifting.the police wherever named and i was imprisoned. the official asked me if i ever been caught for shoplifting before and i informed him no.the issue is I've been charged for shoplifting in my own home state-of florida. my issue is when i visit court for this are they likely to learn about my report in florida?

If they took your fingerprints and ran them through the FBI NCIC database, then yes they will know. The prosecutor will know. There is an outside chance they might not bother with that minor of a charge but I would not bet on it.

They may know about your record; depending on what you're charged with, though, it may not be an issue until sentencing. I suggest not lying about your record during court proceedings or when meeting with a probation officer.
