Today I was caught shoplifting a sweater at urban outfitters- The sensor at the door went off and I was taken into the back, I came up with a story about my aunt having bought me the sweater and I was considering returning it, which was stupid, but I eventually confessed to having tried taking the sweater. They took down information off of my license and took my social security number. The had me sign something saying that I acknowledged I had attempted to shoplift, and that I knew that if I attempted to enter a store in the next 3 years that I could be arrested for trespassing. I was told that I would get a civil demand notice in the mail for my fine, and they gave me information about the civil demand. I have never done something like this before, it was so stupid, I feel so terrible and shocked at myself for doing something like this. I was just wondering if I could be taken to court for this? Or if this is likely? I'm really concerned that this will appear on my criminal record, even though nothing was mentioned about it when I was at the store. Please Help!
