Retail Fraud Shopping Help Needed
What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan
I need help desperately I was a a craft store and went through the checkout lane with some merchandise. I had some merchandise in the bottom of my stroller that I was going to still purchase but the containers I had in my hands were to big to carry so I had the cashier ring them up so I could place them in a bag to hold onto. I did not leave the store I had to take my son to the bathroom to change his diaper as I came out of the bathroom the store manager stopped me and accused me of shop lifting. I told him I was still shopping and was proceeding to head back to the front of the store. The police were called and i was charged with shop lifting what do I do now I am so scared!!!! I have been charged previously in the past with shop lifting a year ago and scared I will face harsh charges again for this crime or worse go to jail this time. I did not leave the store can I still be charged??? The police officer says yes since it's considered concealment the item in the basket of my stroller and I already went through the checkout lane. I explained why that the plastic containers I was trying to carry were to large to continue to carry and my son had leaked through his diaper so without thinking I proceeded to quickly go change him. But once entering the restroom I had 4 employees follow me in. I quickly changed him and was told immediately to come with the manger after leaving the bathroom and wait for the police.What are my rights and is this an impossible charge to fight??? I am so upset and scared and not sure if I honestly did anything wrong please PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!!!! i need the best possible legal advice. Thanks

Here is the other post on the forum as well. This one is just classic. Not only should her dogs be taken away but her children should be removed from her care. WTH shoplifts while their child in a stroller!
