Well I was caught shoplifting a few months ago at a local grocery store. It was the first time I had ever done anything like this and what a big stuiped mistake it was. I have my court date on the 8th of sept, and I have hired a local lawyer and he says we are going to go for a misconduct charge or violation. Well my arrest was posted in the paper with the charge of petiet larceny under $20. And the police came to where I work last monday and arrested me because I never showed in court on the charge, now I never got anything saying appear in court and the rec showes that an attempt was made but they didn't have my apartment number so it couldn't be delivered. I did give everyone my correct full address. Well I am an assistant manager and yes I should have known better (related thread) full story as to what happened. My district hr came down to where I work and put me on suspencion without pay untill this is taken care of, can I expect to have a job when all is over with, do they have the right to suspend me without pay considering I was arrested on the charge because I didn't show up for a court date that I didn't know about in the first place. I know I made a bigmistake and it will never happen again, but it seems like everything is falling to shit in a handbasket all at once and I just need to see if there is any sort of light at the end of the tunnel. Comments, answers are greatly welcomed.
