Everyone freaking out has forgotten: Do not talk to the police. Guilt is determined in court and anything you say, drumroll please, can be used against you. You will not talk your way out of getting arrested, shut the fuck up, and sort it out in court. The only person there to help you is your lawyer, the police are not there to help you.

Everyday is shut the fuck up Friday.

Don't talk to the police.

    Problem is a theft charge would have ruined her and by the time its taken to court it shows up on a background check for you.

    So in this case talking to police chief and stuff did help her.
