Since you didn't give any details I can't really give you an answer. For instance, what was the value of the item(s) stolen, where it was stolen from, and was this your first offense? So I'll link you to the statues on shoplifting, loitering, and the penalties for them.
Shoplifting: http://www.azleg.state.az.us/FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/ars/13/02905.htm&Title=13&DocType=ARS
Loitering: http://www.azleg.state.az.us/FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/ars/13/02905.htm&Title=13&DocType=ARS
Imprisonment for felony (if item was over $1,000): http://www.azleg.state.az.us/FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/ars/13/00701.htm&Title=13&DocType=ARS
Imprisonment for felony (if item was over $1,000 and this is your first offense): http://www.azleg.state.az.us/FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/ars/13/00702.htm&Title=13&DocType=ARS;
Imprisonment for misdemeanors (if item was $1,000 or less): http://www.azleg.state.az.us/FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/ars/13/00707.htm&Title=13&DocType=ARS

Fines for misdemeanors: http://www.azleg.state.az.us/FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/ars/13/00802.htm&Title=13&DocType=ARS
As you can see there are some serious consequences here. Hope you've learned a lesson.

You have not provided enough information here and I am not able to determine what it is that your asking - i.e. are you asking what the penalty is? what the defenses are? what the state must prove to convict? I suggest you write more so someone can give a response that helps.
