Shoplifting, Larceny, Robbery, Theft petty larceny charge showing up as CONCEAL/PRICE ALTER MERCH 1ST

[EthansMommy1911]

On my supena i was charged with a petty larceny but when I looked up my record on the courts database it says i was charged with CONCEAL/PRICE ALTER MERCH 1ST are they the same or did someone make a mistake when putting me in the system. For the record i did not knowingly walk to the doors with stolen merchandise I was under the impression my aunt had already paid for these items. please help me figure this out i'm mad that the system is saying something different and is CONCEAL/PRICE ALTER MERCH 1ST worse than a petty larceny?

You know the facts, if you simply stuffed something in your pockets, for example; or if you tried to put a $2.00 price tag on a $200.00 item.

You need to plead NOT guilty, admit to nothing, don't try to explain, remain silent, and ask for a lawyer (or hire your own).

Meet with the lawyer, and ask him or her how to get out of this mess.

The court isn't going to care what you say, its not a debate, it might be a trial.
So, stop flapping your gums, be patient, get that lawyer, then see how you can make it better.

Good luck.

I am a retail theft consultant and answer questions like yours daily. As yo say you thought items paid for however if this were to go to trial the DA would paint you to be a liar and you cannot show or prove your version. You need to talk to a Lawyer together you can devise a plan that will best suit you.

I'm not saying that you are lying but judges & juries have heard this excuse before. You definitely need to talk to a lawyer.
