Legal Question in Criminal Law in New Jersey
credit card fraud
hello i am looking for some advice,
about a month ago a purchase was
made with a credit card that was
found for about $1000. A detective
from the state the crime was
commited contacted the driver of the
vehicle asking the person that made
the purchase to come into the
precinct to discuss what occured. Not
sure what to do? I am not sure if a
case has been opened as its been
over a month and the detective
claims he just wants to talk there
would be no arrest made. Any
suggestions would be appreciated

Re: credit card fraud
There are several things you could be charged with, from credit card fraud to using a card that you found. You are facing a possible jail sentence of 5 years plus large fines.
The detective is investigating an apparent crime. If he gathers adequate information, he will arrest someone. Sounds like that someone is you. DO NOT give the police a statement without a lawyer present. It is a very good way to get arrested. The fact that it has been a month DOES NOT mean that the matter has been dropped. Call me if you would like to discuss it further at 877*688*3879.

You are in trouble. You need to hire an attorney. You should respond to the detective in a timely manner so that there will either be no bail or low bail.
