My question involves criminal law for the state of: WA
I was caught shoplifting merchandise worth around 400 dollars from a macys store two days ago . I am a senior in college and I have just received a job offer for a position that i intend to accept next week. when HR checks my background...will they see this on my record? when i was apprehended by the store's security, the police was not called but they did make a copy of my drivers license and told me to expect to get a summons to appear in court.
I guess my questions are:
how long before this incident shows up on my record? did i get "charged" when they took my info at the store? or is it when the court enters a judgement against me when i appear infront of a judge?
will anything show on my record between now and when the judgement is entered?
