Kentucky Theft Crimes

Theft crimes can be charged as misdemeanors or felonies, depending on the circumstances of the crime and the severity of the penalties. Theft crimes can be charged under multiple statutes, depending on the type of property stolen, the value of the stolen property, and the manner in which the crime was committed.

Some of the theft crimes our team of attorneys can help you with include:

What Is Theft Under Kentucky Law?

Under Kentucky law, theft occurs when a person knowingly obtains property that belongs to another person by deceiving that person, by stealing the property, or by using fraud or coercion. A person who commits theft may be charged with a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the circumstances of the crime and the value of the stolen property.

Theft crimes can be charged as either specific theft or generalized theft. Specific theft occurs when a person steals a specific item that belongs to another person. Generalized theft involves the theft of multiple items of the same type, such as the theft of multiple items of clothing or the theft of multiple electronics.

Specific theft is charged as a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by:

  • Up to 12 months in jail
  • Up to $1,000 in fines
  • Probation

Generalized theft is charged as a Class D felony, punishable by:

  • Up to 5 years in prison
  • Up to $10,000 in fines
  • Probation

How Does the Prosecutor Prove Theft in Court?

In order for a defendant to be convicted of theft, the prosecutor must prove each element of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. The prosecutor must prove that the defendant committed the actions that constitute the crime of theft, that the defendant intended to steal, and that the defendant obtained property that belonged to another person. The prosecutor may use witness testimony, video footage, and other evidence to prove these elements.

    "I am very appreciative and grateful for what they have done for me."
    Couldn’t be more pleased with Landon Law. I specifically worked with John Landon for two individual cases. Both got resolved without a hassle. John was attentive and very personable. Took time out of his personal life to speak with me multiple times via phone call or email. I can strongly say that by the end of your time with him, you’ll consider him a friend as well as an attorney. Never worked with a more personable and respectful firm. I am very appreciative and grateful for what they have done for me. Will highly recommend them to any of my friends in the future in need of legal help. Thank you John, and thank you Landon Law!

    "I definitely recommend them if you want a powerhouse fighting for you."
    They are the best..their fees are pretty fair and reasonable. Cheaper than any other lawyer I called. I worked with Charles Landon. Every time I had a question, concern or feeling hopeless, my text or phone call was always returned quickly. The outcome of my case was way more than I expected in my favor. He made sure that I never felt alone, that we were in it together. The confidence he had of himself reassured me that I was in good hands. He wasn’t judgemental or arrogant like most other lawyers. Just down to earth, he doesn’t stop fighting for your best interest. I definitely recommend them if you want a powerhouse fighting for you.

    "Landon Law IS the best choice!"
    Soooo lemme just start with how I got charged with wanton endangerment class A felony and Charles Landon got the E N T I R E thing DISMISSED!! Do y’all hear me!!?? DISMISSED!! He is without a doubt the best attorney I have ever had in my life and I’ve had a few sadly /: But with Charles I would highly highly hiiiiiiighly recommend his services. Not only did he get the absolute best outcome for me, it was very impressive how obviously intelligent, professional, and intuitive he was yet super chill and down to earth at the same time. Also, he always kept in touched by updating me with the progress of my cases and never skipped a beat when answering my calls/texts. Sometimes I would even call him when I was super anxious because I was overthinking and nervous and he would gently lay out the facts & our game plan for me again and remind me not to stress to much which helped soOooOo much. He took my feelings into consideration and truly made me feel important and heard. I could literally go on and on about how amazing of an attorney he is. But to make it simple, Landon Law IS the best choice!!
    Forever grateful for him :))

    "Landon Law is one of the few defense attorneys I have seen that truly fight for you."
    I had Charles Landon with a case that had been going on 2 years. He answered every phone call, question and always made sure I was informed and had the best defense possible. When my case started I was facing 20 years my case ended with me getting 5 years probation. Beyond grateful for him. Landon Law is one of the few defense attorneys I have seen that truly fight for you as much as they are able to.
