Since your boyfriend was the one charged, he should consult with a criminal defense attorney. Depending on what happened at his arraignment or preliminary hearing, he may be able to request a modification. But there's not much that you yourself can do.

Q: Can I go to jail for shoplifting even if they let me go??

1 Answer | Asked in Criminal Law for Tennessee on
Answered on Nov 6, 2016

You do not need to respond to a private person requesting an interview. But you could potentially still be charged with theft and prosecuted. If the police are calling you or if the police show up you have a right against self-incrimination. In fact, talking with a store employee - you could incriminate yourself as well. You should consult with a local criminal defense attorney regarding your options.
