My question involves criminal law for the state of: California
I am an international traveller from New Zealand and to my stupidity decided to take a $4 item from Rite Aid without paying for it. I was detained in a back room and signed off some papers with my name and address that i am currently staying at. The problem is i will only be at this address for another week. I visit the USA quite a lot and i was wondering what will happen after this or if i will be able to get back into the country? They only took the details from my NZ drivers license. I have heard about being fined for this but i won't be here to be able to pay the fee. The people at rite aid just said i could leave and didn't mention anything further so i'm wondering if anything will happen after this? I know that my actions were wrong and i would like to make reparation on my behalf.
Any advice would be helpful.
Worried Traveller.
