Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

how long do they have to report me

I was cought taking a bottle from a store the other night. i was confronted by a friend of mine that is a store clerk there and he said give the bottle back it isn't worth it i won't report it. I handed the bottle to him with no fight or anything and walked off...i was called later to come down and talk to the manager at the time. they decided not to call the cops on me than and there but wait to see if the general manager were to find out. My question is since there was no manager in the store at the time of the incident and since there is no chance that the cops will be called untill at least monday and since all thought i am 18 i have a spotless record if i have to worry about a sheriff pulling into my driveway or not...

It is very possible that the sherriff will pull into your driveway and want to talk to you. Normally for this type of offense they often cite and release.
