I recently got a call at home from an officer saying i didnt pay at a place i ate at (small restaurant), and he gave me a citation for retail fraud 3rd degree. he himself was there and saw me on tape as it might have happened once or twice before and the owner prolly called him. however the officer only charged me for that offense that he saw for about $20 for r.d. of third degree. However, when i called to apologize to the owner he said i owed him alot more because hes seen me eat there before. however, i want to know what will happen at the pretrial? will the court go by the officers charges or will they go by what the owner was saying? i am in the process of getting an attorney but wanted your feedback as to what would happen in or after the pretrial.
