    Default Retail theft in Maryland

    I was caught shoplifting at a department store in pa. I had stuffed a shirt under my pants in the dressing room. I was brought in the back room by the LP... I admitted everything and they took the shirt back. They said I cooperated and was understanding and made me promise I would never return to the store. the police weren't called or anything. could they still prosecute me... even though they let me go without paperwork or calling the police? Please tell me the worst case senerio and what i could expect.

    Could they.......yes will they.......................not very likely. If they were going to press charges it was easier to do it then than later. Just follow their advice and stay out of store

    Could you explain why it would be easier for them to do it while i was at the store? what is stopping them from doing it now?

    Very simple you were already there all they need to was contact PD and its done. If they file paperwork later then a warrant needs to be issued etc PD rather pick them up there. Besides it becomes a cite and release most of the time. No if they were going to charge you they would have you free

    How can I find out if there is a warrant? Is it common for department stores to issue a warrant if they don't call PD while you are physically at the store? They know my address also....?
