My question involves police conduct in the State of: Arizona ( Lake Havasu, Mohave County)
Ok well we were at Hastings and we gave my son a golf Frisbee thing to hold because it was colorful. Well he didn't want it, and dropped it into the cart. We put the diaper bag in there and forgot about it. When I found out we accidentally stole somethingI thought that I can try to return it for store credit and everything would be fine. Well turns out when i tried that, the computer showed that the store has never sold that item. So she returned the item to me, in which I took it and left. After that had happened the worker apparently reviewed the security tapes and saw that my wife gave my son the toy and he didn't want it so it fell into the cart im assuming because all she said was I saw your wife hand it to your toddler and then you walked to the back of the store. And that she filed a police report. I want to know what are the chances that the police are going to pursue us, because they have my wifes name. If they do pursue us, will they do it by a call and ask us to come down to the station. Will they come to our house? And my wife wants to be a nurse, so she can't get in trouble. So if they do try to arrest us, can I say that my wife was unaware of the theft and it was solely my responsibility? If so what am I looking at for a first offense. Should I ask them to give me a lawyer? Or do the ones they give suck? Just any advice would be great guys.
