If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

You did a very foolish thing that could possibly change the rest of your life. If your former co-worker decides to prosecute, you may earn yourself a criminal record. To avoid that, you should contact the co-worker and make arrangments to immediately pay back the money for the improper use of the credit card. Hopefully then the co-worker will not file a report with the police, although it may be too late and that may have already happened.
