Pay the fine or it can ruin your credit. Your name may or may not be in a database. You are banned from the store. That is pretty much it. Move on with your life and steal no more.

Pay the fine. You won't need a lawyer because no criminal charges were pressed. If you did go to court you would need a DC Lawyer or a VA lawyer who has a license in DC. Work out a payment arrangement bc n paying this fine could ruin your credit.

If you got paid at your store and have the same social security number yes they can find out where you worked prior. Here is the problem they may ask on your application if you have ever been fired or ask to leave from a job...what will you put then? You lost your prior job for being...

A few things. You must pay your lawyer before your court date. If you do not pay him, he will not show up as he is under no legal obligation to do so. If your case gets dismissed, that means you will not have to do anything with court. No fines, no fees, no record etc. If you get diversion...

Sorry for the late response, but if you went to court, how did it go? PG County has far worse things to worry about than theft. His first theft, first criminal offense and he will get a STET or pbj. The CD Receipt shows the judge he is sorry for what he did and made the retailer whole for his...

Listen to your lawyer. He is paid to help you out. The police are paid to put you in jail. The states attorney is paid to convict you. Police can/will lie. Your lawyer is your best bet. Oh, and stop stealing.

He is not required to go to court until he is "served". Essentially you can go about this three ways. #1 - Have your son go the comissioner at the county courthouse where he was charged. Tell them that he had been charged with theft under $1000. I am assuming since the fine was approximately...

Ehh kind of. Diversion is not a conviction, but jobs which require clearances etc can see it. Essentially, there is enough evidence to convict you and find you guilty. But, the judge says, pay a fine, restitution do 100 hours community service, do not get in ANY trouble (excluding minor...

Was your cell phone on? Maybe an incorrect number/old number was in the database. Also the police have resources that you don't know about. They were just trying to track you down. Not relevant. Your car license plate and the subject description are all the cops need. They match your drivers...

A letter of apology will be used against you in court. I would get an attorney and try to work out a deal with the courts. You will have a civil demand to pay and will most likely be put into a theft database.

What do you mean? A real beating? Also what does this have to do with your case? Their manager probably wants their paperwork to be complete. He should have explained it in detail if you had any questions. I know many companies that require their LP to have bachelors degrees. Also, they make...

My compesation is not based on how much we save the company from shoplifters/dishonest employees but by how much we reduce the shrink each year. I could catch ZERO people and still get a bonus as long as my shrink dollars and percent dropped.

I agree with the admin but I am going to take your story at face value. First you have the criminal part and the civil part associated with the theft. You need to resolve both asap. If you are truelly innocent, hold off on paying the civil penalty, BUT contact the stores civil demand office and...

This is what I gathered from your post. You and your cousin, who have the exact same name, and birth date, but different birth years, went on a shoplifting spree. You stole from various stores and put some merchandise in the trunk. The last store, an employee saw you steal and called the...

I highly doubt they will be pressing charges, especially since they did the interview over the phone. That means the LP guy was not able to get to the store in a reasonable amount of time to interview you and phone interviews were the best option. If he couldn't make it to interview you in...

The story seems fishy. But I will take it at face value. OP, the LP report will most likely read like this. Come up with a better excuse than the belt crushes them. Come on. Also the store may or may not have video and most grocery stores have still, non movable cameras which will not show...
