I have been contacted by a detective from a local police department in Texas. He stated that my former employer wants me to be prosecuted for theft. I have resigned my position a month ago with the understanding that I will not be bothered again. I have now found another job with a more promising future and better pay. I am curious if it is possible to settle this matter out of court. I really need to keep this off of my record because my new employer does not allow any kind of previous offenses. I'm at odds about turning myself in because I don't have the money or time to sit in jail over this matter.
