My question involves criminal law for the state of: Illinois
I'm 17 and was caught shoplifting a $6 makeup item at Sears...I feel extremely ashamed and I'm afraid of what will happen next. I did take the item out of the package but the package is damaged but I returned the item. No police were called and I was informed I would not have to go to court, and that I'd only recieve a small fine in the mail because I cooperated and this is my first offense. Was the information they gave me correct? They told me nothing would go on my record, but my info may or may not be put into a retail database. Do I have to worry about anything else than the fine? How much would this fine be?
