My question involves criminal law for the state of: Alabama

Hi, my story is a little long because I feel that the details are very important... so bear with me, please.

I entered Kohl's in Alabama, took two pairs of earrings, one 10.00 and one valued at 14.00, placed them in my bag, walked out. I got into a car my friend's car (who did not know) and drove across the street and a little ways up to a restaurant. I spent an hour inside this restaurant, eating. I had my one year old daughter with me. I then left and
proceeded outside to the vehicle. As I was about to enter the vehicle, after strapping my daughter in, my friend and I were approached by a man who shook both our hands, asked us our names. We gave him only first names (stranger danger) and he then asked me to come back to Kohl's and I asked him what for. He said that he knew I had two pairs of earrings on my person and I told him that I didn't. He said that he had it on camera and said that he called the police. I continued to tell him that I didn't have to go anywhere with him. He insisted that I did. As I turned to get into my friend's vehicle, I saw two cop cars pulling up. They said nothing to me other than to ask for my ID and didn't place me under arrest and never asked me to or ordered me to go with this Loss Prevention guy. They didn't say anything and seemed more annoyed that they had been called there. But at that point, I wanted my friend (who had done nothing wrong) and my baby to be out of this situation that I had put them in.

So, I agreed to go back to Kohl's.

I went into the room with them and the two police officers. At that point, the officer asked the Loss Prevention guy how he had made contact with me. He stated that he had seen me pick up the earrings on the floor and then went back to the office and saw me take the earrings on camera. When I walked out, he went and picked up the security device cards that I had taken off and discarded in a bra rack, but by the time he had gotten outside, we were already gone. So, he got in his car, and drove around the nearby places until he saw what car he thought was ours and waited until we came out. (I heard all of this firsthand)

The cops looked at him funny when he said that he had followed us to the restaurant but then waved it off and asked to see the tape.

On the tape, you can see me pick up the earrings and go behind a pillar. After that, you cannot see what I am doing or where I placed the earrings. And then you can see me walk out.

I gave the earrings back, blah blah blah. They still decided to prosecute. Got banned from Kohl's and informed that they have the right to sue civilly and will be doing so.

My question is... he didn't know where I had the earrings, the camera doesn't show this, and I find it incredibly creepy that he was allowed to follow me to a restaurant and waited for me to come out. Is there a possibility I could get this case thrown out?
