Try to found more on Petit larceny? I was in a wal mart buying food and personal items. They stated I did ring up few things which was under $40 dollars and was place under citizens arest by store asset protection.But had already pay for over $150 in item and had more money on me. But never walk of the store. Need to know what to do? Feel this was not right and fell it was push to this point because of my race which is black and also everyone to come around me was white. Try was at least 10 to 15 people and was not run anywhere had a baby, my 86yrs old grandmother, and mother. I was told had to sign a paper that would not ever go in a wal mart again in Oklahoma? That want to just get it straight out with me need to come to the office. Can you help or advise what to do about this. Even the police man did understand why they where do this.

More details of exactly what the store loss protection people are accusing you of? Are they claiming you mingled merchandise you hadn't paid for with merchandise you had paid for? Are they accusing you of taking merchandise you hadn't paid for to the area between the front registers and the exit(s) or past the loss protection arches? Was the paid for merchandise purchased at the front of the store or an internal register like the ones they usually have in jewelry or electronics?

Be careful about admitting to anything you did or didn't do.
