What is the name of your state? MIchigan
My girlfriend is being accused of stealing a few items from a garage sale with a grand total of still owing 27$. The accusers are saying she paid X amount and said she would be back to pay for the rest of the items in a little bit. They gave her all of the items even the ones she supposidly didnt pay for. 3 days later she is being accused and the officer said she could be arrested for felony larceny. The accusers say they have 3 witnesses and my girlfriends sister was with her at the time that this all supposisdly happened also. My girlfriend says all of her items were paid for in full before she left the sale.
Question is would this be considered a felony? Wouldn't this be a case of basically who would be believed over the other? Also i think that the people she got the items from probably made a calulation error and realized this after she had alreadly departed and are now trying to get the extra that they did not collect. Would this actually be a case that a prosecutor would even decide to prosecute?
