I WAS UNKNOWINGLY PRESENTED AN ALTERED CHECK. THE CHECK WAS ALTERED AN ADDITIONAL $100.00. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO NEGOTIATE THE CHECK THE CASHIER CONTACTED THE CHECK WRITER WHICH DENIED ALTERING THE CHECK EVEN THOUGH ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING DUTIES WERE PERFORMED. THE STATE CHARGED ME WITH POSSESSION OF A FORGERY DEVICE. MY ATTORNEY RECOMMENDED I ACCEPT THE CHARGE DUE TO A LENGTHY COURT TRIAL AND POTENTIAL HIGH ATTORNEY FEES.

THE JUDGE DENIED THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE STATE AND RULED THE LOWEST POSSIBLE MISDEMEANOR AVAILABLE.
Date: December 31, 2004 Category: Criminal Charges: THEFT-UNAUTHORIZED USE OF SERVICE/PROPERTY Disposition: Dismissed Broker Comment: IN AUGUST 2004, SHORTLY AFTER MY 18TH BIRTHDAY, I WAS HIRED BY WAL-MART AS A PART TIME CASHIER. MANY OF MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY WOULD COME TO MY CHECKOUT LINE WHEN THEY SHOPPED AT WAL-MART. I HAD ONE FRIEND IN PARTICULAR WHO WAS FROM OUT OF TOWN AND LIVED IN A SMALL APARTMENT. HE WAS EMPLOYED PART TIME AND WAS 18 YEARS OLD. HE CAME INTO MY CHECKOUT LINE WITH A SHOPPING CART CONSISTING OF BASIC NECESSITIES, TWO FOLD UP CHAIRS, POTS AND PANS, VARIOUS FOOD TIMES AND CANDY. THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE DAY, CASHIERS ACCUMULATE MANY UNUSED COUPONS AND LEFTOVER GIFT CARDS. WHEN MY FRIEND THAT WAS REALLY STRUGGLING CAME IN MY CHECKOUT LINE, I LOWERED HIS COST BY USING SOME OF THE COUPONS AND GIFT CARDS THAT I ACCUMULATED THROUGHOUT THE DAY, WHICH WAS A VIOLATION OF THE RULES. WAL-MART CONSIDERS THIS UNAUTHORIZED USE OF SERVICE PROPERTY. I WAS CHARGED AT THE TIME, INTERVIEWED, AND LATER ALL CHARGES WERE DISMISSED.
