Yes, under the cicumstances that is more than likely. First of all, by committing this second offense, you have opened yourself up as a repeat offender, no to mention that the punishment for grand theft is far more severe than that for retil theft. Additionally, you will also be facing an additional sentene regarding the violation of your parole (by committing another il;egal act). At this point you need legal representation ASAP.
