I'm 18, I have been employed for 2 years and recently I made a mistake, used a co-workers credit card on two different occasions. The total added up to 70 exactly. I told her what I had did and she contacted the police and loss prevention. A detective came to my house and asked me to meet with him. I met him today and he had a statement from a manager who said I used the credit card twice and bought gift cards, 1 each time I used the card totaling up to 70 dollars. I agreed and told him this was all true. He told me I was charged with theft (he said something else after theft that I did not hear) and that he would contact me at the end of this week or the beginning of next week and I would go back and meet with him I'm assuming get arrested and go to court. He also said it's unlikely that I have to do jail time, he said I'll probably have to pay fines and go on probation. I would just like to know what I am being charged with and what a probable punishment is going to be. I have a completely clean record, just finished high school, have some college credits, and planned on joining the National Guard. How bad will this effect my chances of joining the army, and how much trouble do you think I am in? Any advice will help, thank you very much.
