Theft Charges in North Dakota

The type of theft charge you face depends on the value of the items, property, or services you allegedly stole. If the value of the items is greater than $50,000, you will be charged with a Class A felony, which carries significant consequences, including prison time. For theft crimes in which the value of the items is less than $1,000, you will likely be charged with a misdemeanor instead of a felony, which carries less severe penalties. If you are currently facing theft charges, is it essential that you contact a knowledgeable criminal defense attorney who can help you understand your options and expectations.

Understanding Burglary Charges

North Dakota law defines burglary as the willful entering of a property or structure with the intention of committing a crime. When the offense occurs at night and in the home of another, or if there are attempts to physically harm or restrain someone with a firearm or weapon, the crime is typically considered a Class B felony. In other cases, when weapons and physical injuries are absent, the crime is considered a Class C felony, which carries less significant penalties.
