I live in michigan and me and a friend were hanging out for the first time (i am 18 and she just turned 17). she went in to the dressing room and tried on a little sundress, she showed it to me and said she didnt like it. and then went back in and put her clothes on and can out and i figured she left it in the room cuz that is something i do on occasion but then jcpennys secret shoppers stopped us and i had no clue what was going on but she pulls the dress out of her purse then the cops were called and i was put on as an acessory. i honestly do not think i should be an acessory since the definiton of that is i knew what was happening and i help but i did not. but then the cops were called and they said we could not go in to any jcpennys and were not allowed on the mall property. then we went to jail and got out and they told us we had to go to the court house in ten days so the next day me and my mom went to the court house and they said we have to be there in ten days of them getting charges, which it has been a month or two and they still dont have charges, i am wondering how long do they have until they can no longer press charges and if i can ever go to a jcpennys or to that mall..?
