Hello,
I was recently caught up in an investigation of several employees at the electronics retail store I work for. While the focus of the investigation was to find out who was taking large items (laptops, ipods, etc.), I admitted having stolen a cumulative $77 worth of merchandise, to which they replied that they would further investigate my actions at work to see if there were any additional items stolen and that if there were I would be in much more trouble. In my interview I wrote a statement admitting what I did, that I did not have permission to leave with the merchandise and that I had not purchased it in the first place. As stated in the title I am from Texas and am worrying about what I can expect. Civil Demand, Criminal trial maybe? Im very anxious.. I'm 18, have a 4.0 in college so far, and just got accepted to a University outside the US. If I ended up with a record of any kind my scholarships and work in life thus far would be down the drain... any advice????
