The treatment from the loss prevention individuals is a very different issue from any charges you are facing. You should contact an attorney and set up a free consultation to discuss both of the issues. I understand you are seeking help but please understand that attorneys are not permitted to contact you until you make a call, email, etc to them. Find someone local who offers free consults and make sure you tell the attorney you meet with about everything that happened.

yes I agree, i.e., I advise to see some attorneys � many of them give free consultations in person or on the phone. Talk to some that are local to where the case will be heard.

Any action against the loss prevention people is a civil issue, talk to a civil litigation attorney about that, a criminal defense one about the criminal case. Good luck!
