About This Booking Record

Theft

Theft (Ohio Revised Code §2913.02) prohibits knowingly obtaining or exerting control over another’s property without consent, beyond the scope of consent, or by deception, threat, or intimidation. Theft of property valued under $1,000 is a first-degree misdemeanor (petty theft); higher values or certain items raise it to a felony.
