Hello. Sometimes charges are dropped. It is obvious that you need private legal counsel and advice. The attorney assisting you would study and review the full facts of the incident. Perhaps video evidence exists. Theft is a serious offense with consequences and repercussions that may negatively impact your life for years and years. I urge you to seek private legal counsel with no delay. If you were to confer with me, and depending on the full circumstances, it is likely that I would advise you to take many action steps regarding the situation aimed at improving outcome. All the best.
