Will I Be Arrested or Charged for Shoplifting
My question involves criminal law for the state of: CA
Got caught shoplifting at walmart.The police did not show up.I did not talk with an officer and I did not get a trespass from the store.I was told I would get a fine $300.00 civil demand letter...settlement form.I called and made arrangments to pay...I have one payment left and I am done with it.But...it has been a month and am wondering...will I get a summons? I was not arrested and no police showed up!!! I called my courthouse and they have nothing on me...I also called my police department...They have nothing on me!!! I have never broken the law and have never been arrested.Police department told me that if walmart had called them...They would have come.If anyone could give me some advice...Just want to get this over with!!!!Thanks:)

Did u ever go to court? Pay civil demand ?
Sorry nvm misread the top part....
Re: Will I Be Arrested or Charged for Shoplifting
If your theft has not been reported to the police, it almost certainly will not be. It is extremely rare that a theft with an identified suspect is reported late after the fact, and after the suspect has agreed to pay the civil demand.
I doubt you have anything to fear from the justice system at this point.
