Based on the subject I'm guessing @boartssp53 want to know if what he did was really illegal. I'll go out on a limb and say, yes.

Were you charged with shoplifting?

What you received appears to be a shoplifting charge. I provided a link to the law in my previous post.

What is the citation number? What was the value of the item?

$22.47 Not sure what you mean by citation number. I don't even have a traffic ticket on my record, and have never been in trouble ever in my life. I am a 20 year retired Army veteran.

What law were you actually accused of violating? It's usually a number or letter sequence (or a combination of both).

The penalty depends on the value of the item but shoplifting is, at a minimum, a Class A misdemeanor. If this is your first offense, you will be eligible for a diversion program, this if the ticket cannot be dismissed outright.

You should consult with an attorney in your area.

I have an attorney. What is a diversion program?
