I was stopped at local walmart for shoplifting. I had over $100 of merchandise I had purchased and a $10 dvd did not get checked because my purse was sitting on it and I did not see it. Security caught me before I got out of the store. I tried to explain what happened, they accused me of taking some other things but it was on my receipt. They took alot of information, but because i could not find my ID in a timely manner the police were called. I was not arrested but told I would be getting some papers in the mail in a few days. I did get the letters and I did what was asked of me before the dead line. Now a year later, I am trying to pay a ticket for expired drivers license ( only 12 days expired) and while at the police dept I am told that even though I paid the civil deal of $200 that walmart was pressing criminal charges on me. I know I need a lawyer but is there anything that I can do to keep from going to court ?
