If it wasn't you that committed the theft crimes, then it shouldn't be that hard to prove. The person who was arrested or cited was likely to have had some identifying information taken from them, such as fingerprints or a mugshot. You could call the law enforcement agency that handled the charges and take it from there. I had a similar case a few years ago and we cleared it up quickly. Regarding your husband and his charges, there are a wide range of charges and it will be up to the prosecutor, the judge, and your husband and his attorney to resolve the case.
