What to do if a citation for shoplifting was issued to my daughter?

I believe her rights was not met. She did have a necklace in hand as well as her phone in the same hand. She accidently put it in her pocket not thinking. Before she was all the way out of the store the clerk stopped her and would not let her pay for the item. And refued to let her call any one for help. She is 18.

I suggest that your daughter consult with a criminal defense attorney with respect to the matter that you have written about. Since she is an adult, she could end up getting convicted, the conviction will be permanent on her record and could have a detrimental effect upon her desires to get a job or go to college.
