Im no expert, but I was recently arrested for similar charge though on a larger scale in the same state the case hasn't been to court yet; Assuming he was given an ACD for the first theft; that first charge will now be reopened and he can now be looked upon as a second time offender.

Penalties could be more severe.

Considering all I can do now is work to pay off attorney fees, and sit around at home; I may as well do something productive with my time

Grasshopper, I assume you spoke to your parents?

Lawyer overnight fedexed the bill and court appearance waiver, waiting for it to arrive tomorrow, and going to disclose everything to my dad tomorrow.
