First off I feel like a total and utter incompetent scum bag.
--I was caught at Kohl's yesterday for shoplifting at 2:00 P.M. The amount that was stolen was around $100 (I am an idiot). I don't have a criminal record (besides a few speeding tickets, that was paid and taken care of with Stop class). I am also 21. Living in Nebraska.
1) Kohl's said they will send me a bill; how much will that be and should I have a lawyer to dispute the amount?
2) The police came and wrote me a citation. He gave me a pink slip about a Diversion program and a yellow paper with my court date. He told me that the diversion program IF registered before the court date can avoid me from going to court. Is this true? Should i double check? (I don't want a warrant out for my arrest because of a misunderstanding).
3) Right after the incident; i drove straight to the diversion office and paid 60 dollars for registration; and a list of volunteering opportunities. (I had 60 dollars for a diversion program; and I choose to steal instead of buying without consequences......i really hate my decision).
4) If I did the diversion program; how will it look on my record? I should have thought about this before the shoplifting..but i made a bad decision and now i am facing every consequence. I just want to know.
5) I am planing to move to TX this summer; how would it look when I apply for jobs over there?
6) What can a Diversion program really do for you?
Thank you for your answers....all replies are appreciated....
