Contact a lawyer and see if you can petition the courts to expunge your record. I would think that a petty theft would not show up after 7 or more years even with a guilty plea. Since the apartment complex pulled your record, you have a right to access it from the company which did the work...

I agree with you that there is way more to the story that what the OP says. True I guess employees concealing on the sales floor or stock room is mishandling merchandise and thus a terminable offense.

The site is here for people to get answers. You asked a question, now we answer :) I agree with Admin. If confronted, stay silent. Any comments you say, statements you write, papers you sign will be used in their case file against you. It is best to let them go forward with what they have (if...

Your arraignment is where they call you to court and formally read you your charges and ask what you would like to do. At this point, plead not guilty and request information on how to obtain a public defender. You have a constitutional right to have counsel and if you cannot afford counsel (by...

They do not care if you pay it on the 1st day or the 20th day. They just care that you pay it. If you are not able to pay the amount in full, contact them well before the 20th day and make arrangements to pay. If you have a checking account, you can have them take half of the amount out before...

Even employee concealment? I think there is more to the story than the OP is telling us. If the LP stopped them there had to be numerous factors to prove intent. LP do not stop people just for the hell of it. I also suspect the OP will be terminated soon based on numerous policy violations...

I read in the article that the husband held a job as a security guard. Wow.

They probably want to set you up with pre trial diversion. They will explain the program and if you sign their papers they can enter it into the record without you showing up to court. Get an attorney to help advise you. Once you go to the meeting, if you could follow up with us on the forum it...

Re: Can a misdemeanor not be on my criminal record at all? Set up an appointment with an attorney (private or public defender) and ask about the areas diversion programs. Many offer free consultations and can give you advice on criminal matters such as yours. It is not wise to appear before the...

All you will lose if you go up to court is your initial fee... Bail bondsmen have to make money somehow. However, if you Fail to Appear (FTA) they will hunt you down, catch you, drag you to jail and take your property.

Re: got cought shoplifting at a Store Name Gotcha. Your chances of being prosecuted are slim to none. Big chains have dollar limit restrictions on prosecution. Now if you violate the trespass you will most likely be charged. They usually have a year and a day to prosecute misdemeanor cases.

Yes payment plans can be made monthly. Usually they will try to get you to pay a large amount up front. Pay what you can afford first and foremost. If you can afford $50 a month, pay that. If you can afford more, pay that. The key is that you are sincere about making the effort to settle this...

You "should" be fine but none of us have a crystal ball. We cannot predict what will happen. My best guess is that nothing will happen to you in regards to this incident.

They are "only" going to look at her adult record. I would discuss everything with your attorney and they will be able to come up with the best plan to defend these charges and mitigate the chances your daughter will get jail time and or a record. I think she will be fine as long as you are...

I seriously doubt the manager remembers you. The loss prevention on the other hand most likely does. There are plenty of jobs out there, why risk applying at this job, getting it, only to lose it a few weeks later when they discover you stole from them two years prior? It isn't worth it - at...

I know some department stores collect civil demand and merchandise restitution on the spot. Anyone work for a company that does this? The store(s) I am referring to always charge the state minimum or 2x the amount of the stolen merchandise up the state maximum. If the merchandise is damaged...
