I was fired at Dillards for Theft and a police was called out... he arrived and told me that a detetive will be calling me and then they will go from there? My question is do you think any charges will be filed against me once and if a detetive calles me? Thanks

Hello a:

It depends on the evidence. If you copped out, they have all the evidence they need, and you just might receive a summons in the mail. If you stole a LOT, they could show up at your door. Do I think they'll press charges? Yes. Of course. What do you think cops do?

If you didn't cop out, don't do it when the detective calls either.

Hello again, a:

I don't know. Maybe they got NOTHING. Maybe they're waiting for the video tape. Maybe they're waiting for the detective. Maybe they're waiting for the prosecutor. Maybe they're just going to send you a summons, like I said. Maybe they're NOT waiting at all, and ain't going to DO anything.

Look, dude. I'm on your side. Hopefully you didn't snitch on yourself, and their case will fall apart. If they show up, keep your mouth shut, and hire a lawyer.

Hello a:

It summons's you to court. It's like a ticket. It's NOT an invitation.

Remember, if the cop shows up, keep your mouth shut. You're not going to talk your way out of it, at that point. They already think you're guilty. So, if you talk to them, they're only looking for the stuff that will CONVICT you - not the stuff that will ACQUIT you. So, if you talk to them, you have everything to lose, and NOTHING to gain.

If only you knew this stuff BEFORE the cop got there... Oh, well.

Ok,I don't understand is the police was called out by my manager and all he asked was my phone number and told me that a detetive might be calling me(cant remember if he said "MIGHT" or will be calling me, and asked me how long have I stayed at my house... I can't afford to go to jail cause I'm on papers now

Hello again, a:

It sounds like you DIDN'T snitch on yourself, and that's good. If the detective calls or invites you to his office, don't go, and don't talk to him.

Whether you can afford to go to jail, or not, has NOTHING to do with it. What? You think all those people in there COULD afford it?

I kind of did snitch on myself.. I just told them that I got $$$ for the gift cards... dang I was stupid for saying that

But the mgrs have to prove I said that

Hello again, a;

It's better than snitching yourself off to the cops... But, no, the managers don't have to prove anything. They only have to say what you told them. That, along with any other evidence they have may, or may NOT be enough to prevent your arrest. That's why you might very well be receiving a call from them, because they don't have enough NOW to convict you. Don't give it to them.

Im not SAYING anything else... believe me... Thanks so much for your Help... oh will they put warrant out for me without calling me? And will they send me a warrant in the mail?

They tried to pull my cord telling me they can get the videotape of me using the gift cards but the mgr then put the phone down and said never mind...

Hello again, a:

They won't put a warrant out as long as you show up per the summons. Yeah, the summons will come in the mail. If you don't show up, they'll put out a warrant. They may arrest you and try to scare you into making a plea bargain with them. Don't talk to them. Ask for a lawyer instead.

Has anyone ever been charged for any criminal act after your job has fired you?

Could we please have a little more information on this situation? Depending on the criminal charges, yes, they can file charges after you were fired.

Sure, especially if you were terminated for this conduct. What are the charges?

I'm guessing it has something to do with this post.
