Hello. Yesterday, I had done something incredibly stupid. I took my friend of mine to Walmart and when we left the store, the Lost Prevention stopped us. The LP stopped us because my friend had possession of ten $60 games in his Walmart shopping bag. The lost prevention had believed that I helped my friend put the games in the bag. My friend is under 18 and is going to court sometime this month. I, however, am going to court this Wednesday on March 7.
The problem is that: 1. When my friend put the games in the bag, while I was at the gardening section and away from my friend.
2. The LP believed that I was helping my friend out because I was pushing the cart.
3. I am charged for Grand Larceny and Stolen property :W/ intent to sell.
This is my first offense, and I am extremely scared. I just turned 18, so I am going to the General District court. When we left the store, I told my friend to leave before me, since I wanted to look around some more. As my friend approach the exit, he was stopped by the Lost Prevention. Sadly, I walked to the exit 8 seconds after my friend got caught. I had no idea that he placed 10 games in the bag!
Overall, they said this crime is a felony, grand larceny. My father went berserk when he heard the news and he claimed I am going to jail for 20 years! Also,I just recently got accepted to VCU and GMU.
Am I going to receive any harsh consequences?
