Theft in Weld County is when a person is alleged to have stolen something. Different dollar values of the item(s) in question correlate to different Theft charges: petty, misdemeanor, and felony. Recently across the pond, an Irish woman was released from her 648th conviction. Her lawyer argued the judge to give her “one last chance.” Many of her previous convictions are petty offenses, including 88 theft charges, and 216 public intoxication convictions. Based on her age, 44, and assuming she wasn’t convicted until she was 18, she must have been convicted at least 25 times a year for her to rack up that many convictions. However, this most recent charge was for stealing a bottle of wine. In the U.S., this would classify as a petty theft offense as the wine was likely to be under $50 equivalent.
