Alexandria M. Strati, a 29-year-old resident of Salem County, New Jersey, was arrested on January 11, 2025, and charged under New Jersey Statute 2C:20-11b(1) with shoplifting, specifically for taking and carrying away merchandise from a retail establishment without payment.
In New Jersey, shoplifting offenses are graded based on the full retail value of the merchandise involved. According to the New Jersey Division of Criminal Justice, the grading is as follows:
- Second Degree: Merchandise valued at $75,000 or more.
- Third Degree: Merchandise valued between $500 and $75,000.
- Fourth Degree: Merchandise valued between $200 and $500.
- Disorderly Persons Offense: Merchandise valued at less than $200.
The specific degree of Strati’s charge would depend on the value of the merchandise allegedly taken. Penalties for shoplifting in New Jersey can include fines, restitution, community service, and potential imprisonment, varying with the offense’s degree.
It’s important to note that an arrest is not a conviction. All individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. For more detailed information or updates on this case, contacting the Salem County Clerk of Court or the New Jersey State Attorney’s Office is recommended.
