undefinedWhat is the name of your state? Massachusetts
Yesterday on my way out I filenes with a camcorder(cost 349.00) I was shoplifting, I was asked to return to store by Loss Prevention Officer.
He asked me to remove the item I stole which I did. then I signed a paper agreeing not to come into Filenes for one yr. Then signed a paper for the item I stole. The local police were called, in the meantime I repeatedly asked to call my husband to come pick up our child the filenes employee refused me this option. He said I would be arrested and bail was denied on wknds so I would need to spend the wknd in the jailhouse. One hr later the police showed up, ran my license and sent me home stating I would recieve a summons in the mail.
What will happen to me? Should I try to retain a lawyer before the summons. The employee also took my paid purchases, although I had receipts for them. He says they have video tape of my stealing other things in the past and I used the merchandise credit to purchase the items, so he took these and at first tried t get me to sign a blank page, stating hed fill in all the items. I didnt sign it until he filled in the camcorder only !? How long do stores keep video survelliance, b/c I havent stolen from the store before. In fact just two wks before at the same store, I reported a girl who ran out of the same store with a floor model Dyson vacuum, came in a gave them her license number/make model of car!
Another concern is I am on probation for one yr CWOF for forging a check from my parents account back in 2001-the case was final pleaded out in May 2005. Will this shoplifting incident land me in jail?
