My question involves criminal law for the state of: New-Mexico
HI. I am in desparate need of advice. I got caught shoplifting recently at a department store. I had two shirts worth 156.30. I cooperated once stopped at the door. They took me back and called Police. The officer wrote me a citation and told me to call a phone number listed on it in 5 days. It was a stupid thing to do. I recently got divorced and just was'nt thinking right. Anyway, I am a nurse and afraid that any conviction, I could loose my RN license. If I don't do anything and lay low, is there any statue of limitations that would eventually run out on this? The cop said it was a misdemeanor. PLEASE HELP
