I took a dress and a tshirt from macys about 3 months ago. i walked out of the store and brought me back in to the back office..

i ended up gettin charged with the 2 items plus another item they said i attempted to steal cause i had taken the tag off..
i signed there paper.
then a cop came in, checked my background, took me into another room. read me my rights and asked questions.
he gave me another ticket.
