All,
I just got caught shoplifting a $14 item from the local wal-mart. yes it was dumb. i never had to sign anything and they never pulled out a camera, but they did gather the information from my ID (do think they ever scanned it). they said the item was under the price range for which they prosecute but that i will receive a fine in the mail.
if anyone has any experience or knowledge on this topic i would like to know:
-is it mandatory that i pay this fine?
-more importantly, will this information be on my record/credit score at any point in time (employer backgound checks)
additional info: i am a 21 year old male in ohio.
any help/advice would be most appreciated!
