Property Crimes
Property crimes are misdemeanor or felony offenses involving the theft or destruction of personal or public property. Examples of property crimes in Oklahoma include theft, larceny, burglary, and malicious injury to property. If you are convicted of any these offenses, you face life-altering consequences for your freedom, your career, and your future. Not only can you be imprisoned, heavily fined, and ordered to pay restitution – you will also receive a criminal record, which can make it difficult to find work, rent apartments, obtain loans, travel abroad, or serve in the military.If you have been arrested for property crimes in Oklahoma, you need to approach the charges strategically.

According to the FBI, the category of property crime broadly “includes the offenses of burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson.” Jail or prison time is a potential sentencing outcome in many criminal cases involving property crimes. However, depending on factors like your criminal history, your age when you committed the offense, and the nature of the specific charge, you may be able to avoid incarceration by serving a sentence of probation instead. When a person is placed on probation, he or she is required to obey certain court-ordered conditions for a predetermined period of time, generally under the supervision of a probation officer.
