My question involves criminal law for the state of: Texas
My wife was picked up for shoplifting in a store in Houston. Don't want to get into the details about why/how/etc. but the store manager took her into a locked office after she went past the check registers. Called the police and they came out a little later. She was released because she had to pick up our child off of the bus. She was not placed in handcuffs or told she was under arrest. The officer took her DL # and address and said that a unit would be sent to our house after a warrant was issued. Is this common? I would prefer to take her to the station myself rather than have her taken from our house in a cruiser.
