My question involves criminal law for the state of: Ohio
One night, while drinking at a bar, I had too much and do not remember most of the last hour or so I was there. I do vaguely remember a girl being upset that her bag was found in the men's room, soaking wet and missing $20.00. I apparently felt bad for her because I gave her $20.00. I am not a big drinker so I was in a blackout and these memories are very very cloudy.
The next day, a friend who works at the bar told me that they had watched the camera to see who it was who had taken the bag into the bathroom, and it was me. I have no recollection of doing this.
When I was younger (about 6 years ago), I did something similar. I was very drunk at a house party on campus and stole some money, but I remembered doing it though I never did find what I did with it. I kind of got caught at that and some friends disowned me and complained to police. Nothing ended up coming from it.
I am unsure what to do. What can I be charged with? I don't know the girl, but I am willing and eager to do whatever I can to set it right, but I am scared she might press charges. I am assuming that I didn't take her money, or if I did, I didn't know what I was doing because I clearly gave the money that was stolen 15 minutes later. Does that count as theft? Is it destruction of property? I don't know what to do.
