I was hanging out with my friend whom I had been caught shoplifting with in the summer of 2006. She regularly shoplifts, lately I tend to ignore it, and leave. I haven't shoplifted since the 2006 incident (where I completed my diversion). Although today was different. We were hanging out in a shopping area, and had just genuine fun before she said she had to use the bathroom and we went over to Bartell Drugs. We joked around before poking around the contraceptives area. Here, we oh so very maturely noted the various condoms and such. I remember making claims like "oh lala, this would be great" when she responded "I'll take care of it". When we walked out of the store, we were stopped by LPO, and I almost shat myself. Apparently she stole one expensive condom, and a bunch of other things I didn't know about. We were taken to the back of the store, and my friend kept yelling that "She did nothing, she wasn't involved in this." She started technically resisting arrest, mouthing off and struggling. The LPO said they would call the police if she didn't stop, and she didn't. The security told me I was being held as an accessory, and I was read my rights. I cooperated great, and was told I was "more than likely going to walk, and would only be charged if the police decided to do so." I was banned from all branches for a year. Before my parents arrived, I was told various times I was "going to walk" and heard nothing about a fine. He said he would not charge me. My parents arrived, and again I was reassured I was "going to walk." No charges or fines were explained to me or my parent.
My question is, should I worry about a charge or fine arriving in the mail?
If so, what is the best course of action to take?
How can they charge me as an accessory?
I don't know if it was a matter of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, bad friends, or failure to tattle on friends. Who's fault is it? Will my record pay?
