What is the maximum sentance for Felony Theft in Washington State?
My ex wife was nabbed for stealing from pull-tabs at the bar she worked. The state pressed charges and she was convicted of Felony Theft. She was allowed a reduced sentence because she had a small child but was supposed to pay fines and restitution. She didn't pay any of her fines or restitution and didn't go to a few court dates, had a warrant issued and got arrested yesterday. I am assuming that she took advantage of the reduced sentence that they will hit her with the full sentence now. The childs father already has joint custody and will attend the trial to inform the courts that he will take their son while she is in jail if she tries to use that route again.

Thank you. In total, in the week her employers were on vacation she stole a little over $1000 from them. I do not think it exceeded $1500, so it would be the class C. I am waiting for the courts to post/release the latest case info on their website.
