I'm 18 and my friend was 19 and we both was caught stealing at Walmart, the total amount was under $200. They said it was like $190 and all of it was clothing that was stolen and baby stuff. I only stole one item and my friend stole the rest. The police was called and we both was took to the back surveillance room of Walmart and was held there until police got there. The police officer was nice to us and didn't arrest either of us. We just signed papers and they took our pictures. We was gave a yellow slip to show our court date and then was released to go home. What happens next? I feel terrible for my actions. I know what I did was wrong and my actions was way out of disrespect and I even told them I was sorry. I just want to know what will happen to me. Can someone give me advise please. I'm so terrified. I have a 2 year old little boy and I don't want to go to jail over this. I learned from my mistakes and I'm willing to do anything to make it right again and I understand my consequences. This is also my first time ever stealing and I have a very clean record. Please help!!!! The state was Illinois.
