hi

I have a major problem
Few days back I was caught shop lifting. The security person called the police, but they didnt do anyhting, they just wrote the report and went away saying that these days they are not doing anything. They didnt give me any document, didnt charge me or anything. The store people asked me to do some paperwork which i did, one said that i had taken something unlawfully from store and mentioned the items. this was just store paper work .

so do I have to yes on the forms which ask have you ever been charged, convicted, cited.etc or commited a crime for which you were not arrested ?

Am I guilty, there has not been any court case to establish that?
Do I have to say i commited a crime, the police didnt take any statement from me or anyhting.
this happened in maryland, i have been trying to find what is the max sentence for petty theft in maryland but was unsucessful, if you know pl let me know . the amount was $56.

your reply will greatly relieve me.
 
Just put 'No'

Hi rity123,

Put 'No' in that column. The question asks whether you were arrested for any crime. You were not arrested for that crime.

Talk to an atorney(not the one who is representing your GC).
