You should speak to a private attorney as soon as possible. The potential jail time and charges could be serious. Feel free to call our offices. We do not charge for initial consultations.

Re: Theft

Your question, as I read it, indicates that you did not know that the items were stolen, that the police are trying to get the names of the people that you got the items from, and that you won't give the police the names.

If I'm reading the question correctly, you should immediately contact a private attorney in your area or the public defender's office. You may be going back to prison to serve the balance of your original sentence as well as getting sentenced on new charges. Also, if you were selling the items on e-bay, you could be hit with federal charges.
