Its likely charge against you. Type your state and those numbers into Google

Where exactly do I find this code?

 

[thelawjournal]

The number on citation likley contains charge number. I googled number you gave but got nothing. At top right of main page of this site is a link for shoplifting laws you might try there

I think its 14-72 not 111-72 You can find 14-72 in link I mentioned on main page.

I know the cop said misdemeanor. I hope he's right. OMG

It is 14-72 (a). I stole 85 dollars worth of merchandise, and this is my first (and last) offense. Is this citation saying this is a felony?????

Not the way I read it. Should only be misdemeanor
