Under South Carolina law, shoplifting goods valued at $2,000 or less is classified as a misdemeanor. This charge applies to instances where an individual intentionally removes, conceals, or manipulates price tags to deprive a retail establishment of its goods without payment. Potential penalties for this offense include:
