First offense valued at under $150.00. No priors. Clean record. First time charged with shoplifting. What are consequences? Any jail time?

I am a Retail theft consultant and answer questions like yours daily. Jail is VERY unlikely. Talk to an Attorney about defense options. Ask about ACD or Diversion as possible plea options
