Grand Larceny in Cherokee County

In Oklahoma, one commits grand larceny in either of the following circumstances:

If the  property is $2,500 or more but less than $15,000, the person shall be punished by imprisonment in the custody of the Department of Corrections for a term not to exceed 5 years or in the county jail for a term not to exceed 1 year, or by a fine not to exceed $1,000, or by both such imprisonment and fine.

In the event that the property was valued at $15,000 or more, the person can be punished by imprisonment in the custody of the Department of Corrections for a term not to exceed eight 8 years, or by a fine not to exceed $1,000.00, or by both such imprisonment and fine (21 O.S. § 1705.)
