Whether or not you returned the money, you took it in the first place. Therefore, a crime was committed and you can still be charged. That having been said, the fact that you made restitution will weigh in your favor regarding the disposition of your case. Exactly what you could be charged with will depend on the details of your case but you have failed to provide any. At this point, you would be well advised to consult directly with a criminal law attorney. They can best advise you from here.
