    Default Shoplifting but No Cops Called

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: NY but not NYC

    I was caught today shoplifting at wal mart, very stupid i know. I cant tell you how dumb i feel. It is the only time that i have EVER done anything like that! I do not have a criminal record or have never been arrested in my life and i am 31yrs old. The only thing on my record is a traffic ticket. And it was a fix it ticket and i had it fixed before my court date. Today i was caught shoplifiting and they took me to a back room and took my photo and all lmy info and the items that i took, that cost 2 dollars total. They did not call the cops and said that i could come back to wal mart after 24hrs but that i would be recieving a letter from their attorny in about twos weeks. what can i expect to happen im freaking, are they going to press chrages, will i have to go to court. i cant even eat im so ick to my stomach. Will people find out about this?? Please help sorry about spelling and grammer and such im just so upset.

    The store does have 1-2 years to file charges.

    The letter coming will be for a Civil Demand, pay that and you should be fine.
