I used to work at CVS as a pharm tech. I made a very stupid decision to take some pills one evening.
About a week or two later I got called into the office and questioned about it. I was told to talk to the loss prevention guy and things would be a lot easier for me. Being honest would prevent the DEA from being involved in the situation. So I admitted taking some pills, some of which were narcotics, but when the pills' worth were all calculated up, the dollar amount they were worth was less than $100.
I filled out a statement answering some questions and basically explained what happened, and a cop was there to do a police report. I wasn't arrested, was not given any paperwork, but they told me I would receive court papers in the mail. Looking back, I should have asked more questions that evening but was all distraught at the time.
Ever since, I have been trying to contact the loss prevention guy and the officer, and have gotten no return phone calls. I went to the local police department to get a copy of the police report and the guy at the front desk couldn't find one in the system, only a note saying "follow up" where it should have been in the computer? But I was never questioned about anything before this incident, so I thought that was weird. The guy up front said that he would leave a note for the officer to call me, but he never did.
It's been about two weeks since I lost my job and would really like for someone to return a call and let me know what exactly I'm being charged with. Some questions I have are:
- how long until I get court papers?
- any ideas what I will be getting charged with?
- possible consequences of this?
- can I ever expect to work in the health care industry ever again? (being that I've been going to school for years for medical-related careers)
Someone please give me some kind of info on this horrible situation I've gotten myself into.
