Just like us a betta will not eat if he is feeling sick. Improper water paramaters will make him feel really terrible. And if he has nowhere to rest or hide then this will increase his stress. Bettas can go a week without food but three weeks means something drastic needs to change.
Felony theft is committed when the value of the stolen property exceeds $1000. Regardless of the value of the item, if it is a firearm or an animal taken for the purpose of animal fighting, then the theft is a Class 6 Felony.
If you were charged with theft in the third degree (sometimes referred to as Theft III) or theft in the second degree (Theft II), you are charged with a misdemeanor crime. If you were charged with theft in the first degree (Theft I) or aggravated theft in the first degree, then you are facing a felony charge. There are other related charges such as identity theft; forgery; criminal possession of a forged instrument; etc. which are outside the scope of the discussion here.
