Q: Im in a situation where I resigned from my job on Oct 15 , and on 11/4 reached to me saying they got me for 5k theft.
Apparently they have video footage of me taking the money out the straps and putting it into my pocket and now have nearly 5k on my tab ( I worked for an armored truck company) idk how true this is, but it took 2 weeks for them to notify me of anything, and are now just adding any shortage to my name. Can they prove I took all of this money? From one video? I have been asked to come in on Thursday for a conversation , in which if I don't come in, they will write a police report and have me arrested and charged with a class A felony.
A: If they want you to come in, they are probably going to have detectives there to arrest you, which is likely mandatory for their insurance company to cover any losses. They might be able to prove that you took something from the video, but it is hard to say if they are going to be able to prove that you took the whole $5K. If all of the missing money coincides with the shifts you were working, they may present that as evidence. You should look into hiring an attorney ASAP to be prepared in case you are arrested on Thursday.
