Last night I was arrested for shoplifting, less than $100, and taken to the county jail. I work for the local county, and now if I cannot get the charges dropped, I am out of a job. Is it worth it to call the store manager and see if he will meet with me to discuss dropping the charges? Or is there some other way to do it? I have basically until the end of the week to do this or I am unemployed. And the biggest problem I have is I am the sole provider for a family of 5.
I have never been arrested before, and never been in trouble with the law besides traffic tickets. I made a huge mistake, and I know it. Now I am scared for my family, as I know it will take a few weeks to find a new job.
