Well i am 18 years old and just moved to the state of michigan from florida. I was at the mall and for some stupid childish reason i wanted a pair of underwear. So instead of purchasing them i took them and walked out of the store. A guy came up to me and the person i was with and asked us to go with him. So we did and he asked us if we knew what they stopped us for and we of course said yes we havent ever been in trouble like this before and didnt want to get into anymore trouble. We handed the pairs of underwear to the security guard or whoever they are. We sat in there filling out papers saying that they are going to mail us a letter telling us to pay for the merchandise that we took. ( We took 14.00 dollars worth of merchandise. ) They never called the cops, the cops never came, they didnt tell us anything but that a collections agency was going to mail us so that we can pay the $14.00. They gave us a slip with all the information..our names, phone numbers, address, and the amount. They told us to go the the county police department or township i dont know what there called up here and give them the slip and get our fingers printed. I was told that you dont have to go up there and get your fingers print by a few people because the cops dont know that you are going up there. They have certain dates for people that are caught shoplifting to go up there and go through the whole mess. But than again i dont want to get into anymore trouble. But they didnt tell us anything about being charged with anything, or going to jail or court or anything like that. Only that we are going to be mailed by the collections agency for JC Pennys. Can anyone please help me. I really dont want anything on me record this will be my first time for doing anything wrong and like this and i am really scared. Please any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!![]()
