My question involves criminal law (petty theft charge) for the state of FL:
I was under medication mainly depression and painkillers (doctors prescribed), I was sleeping about 2 days in a row -felt very week. During this week I lost my phone and a book, which was upsetting me since I am living in budget ‘unemployment insurance’. I collected my acts, dosed some vitamins and extra depression medicines and went to shop the used phone and the book. I didn’t find either one, however, as another person’s suggestion; I went to buy a pay phone at the Wal-Mart. While I entered I stopped to measure my blood pressure, in the mean time I picked some vitamins and herbal medicines. Along the way, I bought phone and picked some groceries- however I ended of putting the vitamins in my pockets- the security guards caught me if I have paid those vitamins- I said no, may I pay now please-they ask me to come in side and took picture etc and ask person info and Police officer came – ask me to sign my documents, gave me the court day and released me. I wonder what would be my fate or what I need to do any suggestion? I am not sure what led me to do these things- my medicinal effects or I really wanted to do all of these. Any guidance would be much appreciated. I am 50 years old male and this is the first time.
