My son is 17 and him and his friend got caught at walmart for stealing a $8 shirt, they took him in the back room and then called the police and they took him to a fire station and finger printed him, they did not take his picture or give him any type of paper work, he has NEVER been in any kind of trouble before. what is going to happen next? isn’t there a time limit on how long they have to perform his arraignment? after they finger printed him they took him back to walmart and waited for me to show up and said I would get something from the court in the mail? it’s been 9 days and I have only got a letter from walmart wanting a $129.70, even though they got the shirt back I Am going to pay this. We live in the state of michigan, I thought there was a time frame to be charged or arraigned? What can I expect next in this process? Can he get a deferment?
