Man Charged with Grand Theft for Stealing Deceased Woman's Remains

A Lakeland, Florida man has been charged with grand theft for stealing a dead woman's ashes, according to ABC News. Apparently, the deceased is the sister of a woman who the man lived with briefly. The mother of the women says that the man drove past her house, shouting that he had her daughter's ashes and was going to snort them, according to ABC.

Allegedly, the man has multiple prior criminal offenses on his record. If you are charged with theft as a first-time offender, there may be opportunities for reduced or dropped charges. Repeat offenders are likely to face harsher consequences, but can still benefit from the representation of an aggressive defense lawyer who will protect their rights.

Grand theft of high-value goods can carry serious consequences. A conviction may leave you facing:

Judgment from your peers and family
Termination from your job
Inability to gain employment elsewhere
Fines, jail time and probation

As someone who made a mistake when you stole someone else's property, you deserve a second chance and protection from the harshest punishments.

If you have been charged with theft or shoplifting in Orange County, Osceola, Orlando or any other Central Florida city, please contact the Umansky Law Firm to schedule a free and confidential consultation.
