My question involves criminal law for the state of: Louisiana
My friend and me went to JCPENNY, she was stopped by antitheft team officer of JCPENNy and they found two thermal wears (around $48 and they had 80% off on them too) inside my friend's bag, they did some paper work and files misdemeanor summons on my friend. The cops came and took pictures of my friend and they took finger prints too. They asked to write that my friend has stolen the items and took a signature of her on that paper, she got afraid by seeing so many cops and did watever they asked to do. This happened yesterday, when will it appear on her criminal back ground. She is an international student, recently graduated, applied for OPT which is still in processing, will this affect her OPT approval. She is looking for a job, will this affect her job offers. If she wants to get this out of her records when she can do that, what is the procedure for that. Please help her with this issue
