Types Of Penalties For A Theft Conviction

The consequences for a conviction on a theft charge in South Dakota vary widely. Punishments depend on whether it is a felony or misdemeanor and on the degree of the charge. As the severity of the crime increases, so do the consequences. If convicted, you are facing monetary fines in addition to jail or prison time.

There may also be civil consequences to a theft conviction. In a civil case, you may be responsible for paying the stolen property owner the value of the items and punitive damages of up to four times the items’ value.
