    Default Caught Shoplifting at Target, Police Called but No Arrest. What Happens Now

    I was caught shoplifting merchandise for around $50 from a target in MA. They took my school id and made a record, and told me I'd be hearing from target to pay for the merchandise plus the LP and witness'. Later the police came, and they told me I would be getting a court summon where I would have to pay about $140. They didn't ask me for any additional information, except my address. I asked them if this would go on my record, and they said that since I don't have any previous record, if I went to court and paid the fine it should be okay. I am a female over 18, with a completely clean record, and did this in a moment of absolute idiocy. The whole ordeal took about half an hour. Will this show on my future records? Please help!

    that will depend on the final disposition of the case. If you are given a deferred adjudication or some sort of deferment, it won't show if you comply with the requirements imposed upon you. If you are found guilty of a misdemeanor without some deferment, it will show up just like any other criminal record.
