What is the name of your state?I am in Arizona, My past employer is in CO.

When I departed my company last year, my boss discovered that I had used my corporate credit card for personal charges. ( A bad move, I know.) The balance on the card at the time of departure was $10,000 approx with about $3000 being my personal charges and the rest being business expenses. After seperation from the company, I heard nothing further about the matter, until this February. I got a call from the sheriff's office in CO, where the company is located, telling me that they were asking that charges for theft and unauthorized use of a financial instrument be pressed against me.

The investigator said she would get a court date and call me in a few weeks. That was 4 months ago and I havent heard anything else. We are coming up on a year since the original police report was filed, in July of 2003. What is the statute of limitations on this? I would like to get on with my life knowing that I am not in threat of being called to jail any day. I know I made a mistake and i would like to pay the amount back without "admitting" to a crime.

Thanks for whatever help i can get.
