Caught Stealing a Phone Charger

I walked in the store with some buddys of mines! Looking for a portable phone charger! I find one walk around the store with it! I open it connects to phone and walks too front leaving the box! Walking to self check out I ask my friend to pay for this and I would pay him back when I get home due to leaving my wallet! A couple of girls call me over and I talk to them, not knowing if my friend picked up my box and paid for my item! Walking towards the door not even left yet, the Security lady got me! Turns out he didn't hear me say pay for this! Plea guilty or not guilty?

Guilty of misuse of exclamation points!

You removed the item from the box.
You passed the last point of sale without paying for the merchandise.

All of which are elements for...

Shoplifting!

Trying to blame your buddy for your actions is not going to hold up in court.

You are guilty! However that doesn't mean you have to plead guilty! Get a lawyer! Tell us the name of your state!
