My question involves criminal law for the state of: New Jersey
recently the asset protection manager took me to an interview saying that I have stolen some merchandise from Z-mart store. I confirmed to the asset protection manager about the theft of 4 electronic devices and some other little things like bottles of water and 2 lanterns. after I admitted this, I was asked to sign a resignation letter admitting my "crime". I was asked to provide my home address and also my phone number so that a local police can contact me about the matter. Today is sunday. im guessing the police will contact me on monday and I dont know whats going to happen next.
manager and the asset protection manager were glad I was providing the detail of my wrongdoing...and im aware it will be impossible to work at that store in general. they walked me out of the store. I even told them I can return 2 of the electronic devices I took.
my question is:
1) will I get arrested?
2) will I have to pay a bond?
3) should I consult with a criminal lawyer in my town just in case whats going to happen next, or should I contact a lawyer when I get a call from the NJ police?
4) will this action stay permanently on my record , in terms of finding a job? (i was just a cleaner) but if I go to university and then want to land a mid-level job someday , will that ruin my chances of applying in the U.S?
5) will I get something called a "civil demand notice" regarding the losses?
6) if the police will call me, for what will it be about? to set an schedule to plead guilty or get a mugshot?
this is the first time I am being summoned to court, and because of this lesson. I shall never steal again.
