    Do you think criminal charges will be filed when the police didn't arrest me for theft
    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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?
