The scenario is fairly standard: The police apprehend a suspect, the suspect is charged with theft, and the suspect then hires an attorney before appearing in a Chicago court. However, in a recent case, the script seemed to have been rewritten and a veteran of the Chicago police force was put on leave after being arrested for misdemeanor theft. The charge arose after the woman was accused of stealing just over $200 in vitamins from a local grocery store.

According to sources with the police department, the woman had been relieved of her detective duties until a thorough investigation of the case could be completed. Though it was not known whether the woman had retained an attorney, it is advisable that anyone who faces theft charges consult with a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible following the arrest. In some cases, your theft attorney in Chicago may be able to get charges reduced, minimize the seriousness of the penalties assessed, or even get the charges dropped altogether.
