My name is Becca. I worked at a restaurant as an asst. manager for months in Missouri. One morning I open the restaurant, set up the drawers and prepare the change order for the bank. I leave to go to the bank and return after making the deposits and the owner later calls asking about the deposits. I realized a deposit was missing and began searching for it thinking it got misplaced or dropped. After a few of us searched, they found it in a full trash bag which was from the office which was thrown away in the dumpster but only found the envelope and deposit slip but no money.
As I was the manager on duty, I was questioned about the situation and tried my best to help. Two days later, the money was dropped in the night deposit at the bank as if whoever stole it got scared and returned it. After a couple months and a few meetings with the officer, he brought it to my attention and he believes I stole it and said he can put out a warrant for my arrest. I said there is no evidence that I took it so he can't take me in. He mentioned the camera shows me throwing the envelope away. I told him the bank returns the envelopes that the money was in with the deposit receipt and I was throwing that away.
When I was 18 years old, I ended up getting a felony burglary charge for being an accessory to a crime so I understand that fingers will be pointed at me.
My main question is, with the money being returned, what charges could he even try to charge me with? It seems like a case that is just trying to get a small charge out of it.
