6 months ago i was charged with theft by receiving stolen property. here the story:
i came home for lunch one afternoon to find my apartment hadbeen broken into. i immedietely called 911. the officers came out questioned, fingerprinted the whole nine. they asked what do we know of was stolen i said 3 tvs. 1 28in flat screen, one 32in lat screen and one 50 in flat screen. i told the office that i had an idea who took my property. by this time my roommate comes home and the officers let me return to work. a few hours later i come back home and the officers were questioning the people that i thought may have taken our property. the officerscome back to me asking question like how long have i had the 50 in and where did i get it. i thought the information was irrelavent so i told the officers i had it for close to a year and i bought the tv off craigslist. but in actuality i bought the tv from a guy in my complex a few moths back. the guy seemed cool he said he was short on rent so i bought the 50in for $400. well after running the serial numbers come to find out the tv was reported stolen from someone that lives in the complex a few months prior to the incident. now i look like i had something to do with the robbery because the stories didnt match up. but if i were to have anything to do with the robbery or if i knew the tv was stolen.. why would i call 911?
can someone please help me with my situation? am i looking at jail time or what are my possible consqences?
