Just a little background before I begin. While in High School back in the early 90's I worked at Kemp Mill Records over in Springfield. I had this jack off manager who was a student at GMU at the time and would always ride my ass for showing up 3 minutes late. I played sports in high school and a couple of times I had to stay later. This guy would tell me to either quit sports or take the job at Kemp Mill seriously. So during my senior year every new CD that came out I would steal. I was the first to have a portable discman in my car. Remember when you had to put the adapter in the tape deck? Apparently the manager was doing the same thing and he knew I was doing it as well. Actually we were all doing it. Anyways the manager was the only one dumb enough to get caught. Well that and he overstepped his boundaries by taking cash from the register. Anyways I left before I could ever get questioned, went to school and the rest is history.

So I get a friend request on FB the other day. Mind you I hadn't seen this guy forever. I'm settled down with a decent job and a family, working at Kemp Mill was the last thing I thought about. He messages me and asks me and I'm half expecting the "hey man how you been?" "Oh yeah that's cool," "hey remember when?" type stuff. It started off that way but then he just starts ranting about how fucked up it was that he got arrested and had to go to jail but all of us walked free. Also how it fucked over his life because he could never recover from that incident. I mean why he waited 20 years to find me makes me wonder? I start firing back about how he shouldn't have been a dumb ass and push the envelope by taking cash from the drawer. Also that he needed to take responsibility for his own stupidity resulting from pushing the envelope further and further. He then tells me that he is going to call the police and have me arrested for all of the stuff we stole from my time there. He told me how he had proof and that he would testify against me and all of this crap. He told me that the statue of limitations would work in his favor and how he calculated the amount I stole. He said it would be grand larceny. So my question is if this is all possible? Can he do that? Can I be arrested for a decades old crime that isn't murder, rape, or whatever? I mean it was CDs, a discman, couple of cassettes, and a car adapter for the discman.

TL;DR I worked at Kemp Mill in high school. My manager and I along with other employees would steal CDs and stuff. My manager was caught embezzling from the cash drawer. Now he's trying to have me arrested for grand larceny from back then.

Who's going to press the charges? Kemp Mill still in business? Tell him to go fuck himself.

The statute of limitations on robbery is 5 years. Do not admit anything to him over Facebook or email or text, even if he knows you stole too.


Tell him to go fuck himself.


You'll be fine. He's just bitter. The manager should know better.

Cops have more important things to do, like taking complaints from the Hambeast about internet postings

Defriend and block him already.

The only crime OP is guilty of is a bad troll attempt.

" Now he's trying to have me arrested for grand larceny from back then."


No he's not.

He's setting you up to extort money from you.

Petite larceny statute is only good for 5 years.

Call the cops on him.

The FBI are wire-tapping this thread. His testimony will be damning since he is such a credible witness.


Once again, thank you for turning to Fairfax Underground for legal advise!

I just ran a Google search and there are still some Kemp Mill stores in MD

I think you're right Vexxxed. He was alluding to a price for silence. Whatever that means.

Stop talking/emailing/texting the manager and get a lawyer.

Have the lawyer contact him.

I'd rather not. I'd really just like to forget this whole thing ever happened. If I drag legal into this mess then I'll be incriminating myself and opening up the possibilities of being prosecuted. But if the statue of limitations is only 5 years then he can go fuck himself.

I just talked with one of the guys I used to work with and he said this weasel is trying to do the same thing to him. According to my old pal he's racked up quite a decent amount of gambling debts with the wrong crowd to be accruing debts with. Pretty sure he's hoping for a couple thousand payout. I could be a dick and play along with his game and fry his ass but I think the best course of action is to block him.

Stop being such a God damn pussy. Theres no there there.

Probably is a bad troll, but if it is true, the correct response is to ignore, block, defriend, and avoid him. Have no contact. Almost certainly nothing is going to come of it.

Aren't you the pussy who bleed lots when he get punched?! HAHAHAHA

Summary of OP post?

OP - De-caffeinated coffee or less Redbull.

I doubt he has any evidence except for his word.

Tell him to eff off and block him on social media. What a loser.

Best advice. The dude sounds psycho and can't get over the past. Time for him (old manager) to move on with his life and not dwell on sh!t from 20+ years ago. Most likely, he's a stoner and still living in his mother's basement.
