Retail theft by altering price involves intentionally changing or manipulating a price tag to unlawfully obtain merchandise. As a felony, it carries severe penalties, which can include up to 3.5 years in prison, fines of up to $10,000, and restitution to the retailer for the value of the stolen goods.
Possession of drug paraphernalia, classified as a misdemeanor, applies to items intended for use in consuming, preparing, or storing controlled substances.
