    Default Wife Caught Stealing at Target

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: NC

    Hi my wife was caught today shoplifting from Target. They did not call the police and told her that they were not going to press charges.

    They did have her fill out some information and banned her from the store. I was just wondering what we can expect from here.

    what kind of info? If they took her name address, picture taking and finger print and made her signed something then maybe could lead to Civil and Criminal charges.

    I'm just worried about possible criminal trouble and her record.

    Not sure if she was fingerprinted.

    She would not have been fingerprinted, Target does not have those capabilities in store.

    Depending on the amount she stole, Target may not pursue criminal charges. I know the old rule was an insanely low amount but it may have changed. She will receive a civil demand letter at some time requiring payment for merchandise, time spent on case, etc... Target reserves the right to press charges up to the statute of limitations and may if she doesn't pay the CD, in addition to suing her for the CD.

    There is a "shoplifters" database out there and she may wind up on it....which could affect future job opportunities...or may not. I have seen people arrested for stealing from Target working at another retailer very soon after.

    Ok sounds good. Of course why am I freaking out when she is the one that got in trouble...?
