My question involves criminal law for the state of: Illinois.
Just to set the scene, I am a 17 year old white female and this happened on a Monday night at around 7-8. Three friends and I went to target and two of us (one of them being me) stole some things. We went around the store and picked out some items and then went to the clothes, putting things over our baskets and went into the dressing room where we put stuff in our bags. I stole 2 things of mayonnaise and mascara (I simply didn't want to pay) and bought two other things. As we were leaving and in between the two sets of doors, someone came up to my friend that stole, identified themselves as Target LP, and asked if she could return the stolen goods. She went with him and I left the store(and wasn't apprehended or asked to come inside) and I had to drive one of my friends somewhere at a certain time so I didn't come back. The fourth person stayed with the girl that got caught. As I was driving the girl to where she needed to be, the girl that got caught called me and said I had to return. I denied that I stole anything over phone and text and while I was driving my friend to her location I was told they had evidence and my license plate so if I don't come back they'll call the cops. Supposedly my friend in the "interrogation" room (didn't know what else to call it) didn't give up any of my information and kept saying I was 18 so that my parents weren't called. I drove my friend to the location and left everything in her car and was on the way back when she told me that I had to bring the items back or else the cops would be called so I had to drive back and grab the items. I was driving for probably 50 minutes so it took a while to get back to Target. The only reason I went back was because they had my license plate and my friend was still there. Also, my friend said I only needed to give back what I stole and my ID, and I wouldn't have to get out of the car. Once I got back to Target, the fourth girl that went with the one that got caught (she was waiting outside of the interrogation room because they didn't let her in) came to my car, got the stolen goods and ID, and went inside. Apparently they scanned my ID and three minutes after my friend went in with everything, they came out. The LP officer said no cops would be involved and that there will be no fees from Target. I also didn't have to sign anything since I didn't go back inside. Should I expect any legal trouble??
