i was caught shoplifting and they told me that they have been watching me for 2 weeks. i got a ticket that day by the cop but was able to go home that day. then a week later the cop shows up again with 4 more tickets. he said they looked me up on the cameras. my public defender said that if i plead guilty to 2 charges, 2 of them will be dropped. i have one on record now. she said i will spend 60 days in jail. will the judge suspend most of it or will i spend 60 days? it will be the 3rd charge of misdemeaner theft. they are all misdemeaners. what do i do?

i was arrested in the state of oregon for unlawful use of a weapon (having it in my hands, not pointing it at them) against two trespassors on my property. i had warned them verbally twice to leave my property on the second warning i also warned them i would get my gun. they didn't leave so i got the gun, then they left. it is my first offense, listed as a class a misterminor. i was arrested and stayed in jail over night, what will happen to me now (best and worst case)? i have a court date next month, should i get a lawyer? will this be on my record? if so, how long? will this stop me from getting a job in a major corporation? would something like this make me get negative results on a background check? if this goes on my record, will i be able to work for a security company still? please help me, i am new to this. i really didn't know that on my private property it is illegal to have a weapon out (showing them to scare them off) unless they were threatening my life. otherwise i wouldn't have done it.

my husband and i wrote some bad checks in the state of kentucky, and he went to jail for 6 months. i was suppose to do 1 year when he got out, and then he'd come back in a do another 6 months. we have a kid, he was 6, so the judge set it up like that. well, i didn't show up to jail, i fled the state. my lawyer (who is now, 10/11 years later, the judge) told me the best thing i could do was get the hell outta dodge. so, i did. then, when my husband got out, he joined me. it's been 10/11 years and i would really like to be able to go back there, but i'm not sure if i can. do you think this has gone off my record there, or could i still be wanted? a few years ago my husband was put in jail and had a ncic done on him, and nothing came up. i don't know if they did one on me, but if there was nothing on him anywhere, would there be anything on me?
please let me know what you think

im a business owner the nightly deposit came up missing ....so i check our cameras to see the whole theft . an ex employee who still stops in from time to time is the one to take the deposit, i call the police they see the video & issue a citation? i am furious! the entire deposit is considered grand larceny however crediit cards , checks make up a large portion so it is now petty because our laws have just changed. what can i do ?

i was caught with peti larsony. i went to court. the company made me sign a paper saying i stole 19,000 worth of stuff, i was young, didnt know what i was doing. anyway, so i was arrested, brought to court, had a high priced lawyer. needless to say i got it reduced to spitting on the sidewalk.
well almost 3 years later i try and get a job at a department store and they background check me, they tell me that it shows that i stole 19,000 worth of stuff from this company.
so even tho i wasnt convicted it still showed up on my background check.
does anyone know when/if that will ever come off???

i was in a fight two years ago back in arkansas. it was two on one (two of them against me). my friend broke up the fight. he resently got arrested for a warrant. he has been charged with 3rd degree battery. if he has been charged; i know that i also have a warrant. what should i do? is there a limit on the time they can charge me with anything? i now live in fl and do not plan on living in arkansas again for a long time but i do have my family there. the only time i go home is for family holidays.
the police did talk to me regsrding the fight shortly after it happened. i gave them my contact information and was more than cooperative. i was never charged.

i had the same situation, i was panic, same thing happened, my friend got cought shop lifting, the value of the items were like 20 dollars of jewelry at sears.
the security guys are sears were really jerks. so anyway, they called the police and the police took her to the police station where she was given a ticket to appear in court..
she went to court, when she got there, was was just asked if she how she pleaded. there you have two options, you can please guilty right then and on the the judge will give your sentence (something like community service or pay fine like $400 dollars) or your other choice is to get a public attorney.
if you choose to get a public attorney, they will give another date when you need to come back and make your plead with an attorney.
when you come back, you will talk to the public defender. explain to him your situation and be honest with him. he will plead a bargain for you. in my friends case, it was only $20 worth of crap that she took by mistake, so it was already ridicilous for the sear security to call the police (jerks) so the public defender plead bargain with the district attorney to lessen the accusation and change it from misdeminor to something else.
i rememeber the jerks at sears saying to her that she can always please no contest, but i dont know what tha means.
anyway, the whole expirience was a nightmare, specially for someone who's never broken the law and its afraid of breaking any laws. she was so afraid she was gonna de deported, so becarful. its important for everone to be good and learn from others. well, i hope this llittle story helped you get some idea of the process.
next time you try to steal something think twice about it.... or check your pockets before you exit any store. sometimes good people are forgetful and they forget stuff in their purses or pockets, it never hurts to check, because if you encounter jerks like those punks at sears, they will call the police and wont believe you even if you are honest about taking the items by mistake. i never go to sears now. never. well, once, but that was it!

my son, who just turned 18, hit a 12 foot split rail fence with our car on his way to work. he told the owner of the fence about it and was told "no problem". after he was done with work we decided the car was bad enough that it needed to get fixed and we needed a police report to file w/ insurance. so he called the state patrol. when we met up with him, about 10 hours after hitting the fence, the officer was very upset and told him he had a "hit and run". he has been charged with a 2nd degree misdemeanor. this is a kid that has never been in trouble w/ the law, has a 4.0 at the univ. in honor's physics, volunteers in the comm., etc. we have a letter from the owner of the fence obsolving my son and a estimate to get the car fixed but the d.a. won't even talk to us. should we hire a lawyer?
