My self and a fellow employee, along with two customers, were recently involved in a situation where money came up missing from the business we work for. The amount taken would constitute a Misdemeanor charge here in the state of Wisconsin. During the incident in question both myself and my fellow employee were together the entire time, and all speculative evidence points to the two customers. Both myself and my fellow employee also have the support of our employer regarding this situation. Both of us have been employed with this company for 10 years and have the complete trust of the business owner. The owner did file a police report in this situation, and requested that charges be filed if it can be established who took the money. The owner has also stated to us and the investigating police officer that he does not believe that myself or my fellow employee were involved in any way. However, the investigating officer stated that we were all considered suspects. It has been several weeks since the incident in question and neither myself nor my fellow employee have been questioned or called in for questioning since.
My question is should my fellow employee and myself be concerned? How long of a time would pass before we were called in for questioning if we were suspects in this case? And should we place an attorney on retainer just in case?
