Detained by store employee for shoplifting; no police came
I was detained at a store by one of the employees, actually she asked to look in my bag and I did have a pair of pants in there that I had brought to exchange but decided not to. She claimed I stole them, etc. etc. After everything that was said, because I had no proof that I had brought them in and it was her word against mine, they let me go. They didn't take pictures, contact police, ban me from the store, etc. But approximately a week later I received a letter from the local Police Departments Warrant Office stating I had 10 days to come down and turn me in. How can they do this if I was not even prosecuted or there was no police involvement?
