petty

A petty criminal from Birmingham, by then in his 80s, claimed he and two others had stolen the silverware and melted it down to make fake half-crown coins.

“If they wanted to criticize my job, go ahead and do that, but clearly they can’t, they just pick something petty like that,” she said.

He also considered making Jack Sheppard, a petty thief who had won the public's affection, one of the main characters.

Whether it’s the National Guard or the Highway Patrol, criminals, both petty and violent, tend to avoid them.

But Gonzalez said he told ICE hiring officials that he had a 10-year-old felony on his record for petty theft and he was told he wouldn’t qualify for the position.
