    Default Illinois Retail Theft

    Hello folks. At the end of May a bit flipped in my head and told me to steal, I did just what my brain told me to do and took a pack of gum and some video games. Before I walked through the sensors I was stopped by security and asked what I had. I told him that I would give him what I had when we were in the backroom and I was thusly escorted. I gave them the video games and the pack of gum which the security guard threw back at me and told me to keep, I immediately told him no and that I would like that to be part of the evidence since it was my intention to take it, it was not even put on the charge, should I bring this up in my next court appearance, or tell this to my lawyer? They took my information and the police came, I was then arrested and the cops drove me to my car and began a search of it, they did not ask to search my car and when I questioned them all they would say was "we were looking for illegal contraband" of which of course they found nothing. I was then taken to the station where they took my shoes and belt and phone, at this point in time my phone rang and the cop asked me if that person knew I was under arrest insinuating that I had an acomplice. Now I'm not sure but I think that was very illegal seeing as how I had not yet been read my miranda rights, anyone have any first hand knowledge whether or not this could help my case? I had court today and I told my lawyer about this but we did not counsel. I was charged with Class A Misdemeanor retail theft which came to a surprise to me because I thought I had taken enough to earn me a felony. What the judge told me I was charged of is what I am being charged with correct?

    Thanks in advance for your responses.

    You stated nothing incriminating so it really doesnt matter.
