Understanding Grand Theft Charges in Wisconsin

According to Wisconsin Statutes § 943.20, the crime of grand theft is known as theft by the value of property stolen. The definition of grand theft in Wisconsin is the theft of property with a value of $2,500 or more.

Theft is a criminal offense in which one person takes or uses someone else's property without their permission and with the intent to deprive them of that property. In Wisconsin, the severity of the charge and the potential penalties depend on the value of the property stolen.

  • If the value of the stolen property is less than $2,500, the crime is considered a misdemeanor, and the penalties may include up to 9 months in jail, a fine of up to $10,000, or both.
  • If the value of the stolen property is $2,500 or more, the crime is considered a felony, and the penalties may include imprisonment for up to 10 years, a fine of up to $25,000, or both.

It's important to note that the penalties for grand theft in Wisconsin may also be influenced by other factors, such as whether the offender has any prior criminal history or if the theft involved any aggravating factors such as the use of a weapon or violence. If you are facing charges of grand theft in Wisconsin, it's essential to seek the advice of an experienced criminal defense attorney who can help you understand your legal rights and options.
