How Long After Admitting to Stealing from Work Can You Still be Charged

[billtree08]

My question involves police investagation in the State of: New York

About 7 months ago i was let go from my employer for not following company policy, theft, and knowing that another person was breaking policy. I foolishy admitted to taking less than 30 dollars worth of consumables and agreed to pay it back ( which i did). I understand this amount isnt huge and im sure I would have been arrested than and there if my company wanted to pursue matters.

My question, when I was being interrogated by loss prevention they questioned me for two hours about everything and everything ( even about things that made no sense). They stated they had been looking into the store for months and wanted to talk to me to wrap up their investagatio/case. They made me feel is if they had this huge case against me. Let me be very clear that I have never embezzled money, the worst i think they could have would be seeing me drink something without a receipt on it. What is the probably that they handed the case over to the police and the police have been investagating for 7+months? Im already a paranoid person who suffers from chronic anxiety, the things they said and did certianly did not help my cause.

Im I just being paranoid thinking the police are spending countless hours building a case. The laywer I spoke to seems sure their isnt any need to worry.

I wouldn't worry about this too much; however, if the police do want to speak to you, show up with an attorney.

We are not psychics and therefore have no way of knowing whether or not the police will arrest you for this. This is entirely up to the police, and they have not seen fit to contact us about this situation.
