My question involves criminal law for the state of: Massachusetts.
$183.91 worth of clothes at Target. This is my first offense -- ever. I've never done something wrong before. It was clearly a mistake. I was taken in for questioning, gave everything back, banned from the premises for 1 Year, and was told that I would be summoned. What? I don't understand what this means. I was doing some searching and found out I could go to jail. What? I wasn't arrested, and no one ever mentioned jail to me, they said I would have to pay a fee? I asked about it and they said probably what the amount of the clothes was. I'm panicking. I don't understand what happens next.
Please, if anyone could help me. Please.
