This past Wednesday I made a incredibly stupid decision and stole a $20 bag of dog food from Wal Mart. When I got outside and went to put it in my truck I saw that I was a victim of a hit and run. So I called the police to file a report on the hit and run and went about my business. Next thing I knew the policeman said he would check the security cameras for me and I could use a case number to check on the investigation. Well I got a call yesterday from Wal Mart's LP department asking for me by name and saying I had been caught on camera shoplifting. Apparently when the policeman came inside they got my information from him and a filed a report. The LP worker said that they would sent me a letter for civil restitution asking for $225 to not press charges. Is this something I really have to pay? I am a college student and will lose my financial aid if I get a misdemeanor
