You're not going to be arrested.

Grow up and face the music.
That is very childish of you to trash a reference just because you don't to work you last day of a two-week notice.
Not only will you not be eligible for employment at Best Buy any longer, but not for other companies they own either.

No it's not illegal. If you were a cop, you might have a problem, but you're not.
However... it may not be the best idea to just quit like that because you may not receive your last paycheck and if you need references for your next job (95% of the time you will) Best Buy isn't going to be of much help to you, and they'll probably tell any potential employers how unhappy they were with how you quit randomly.

Unless you are a firefighter, then no.
But you may have just burned a nice recommendation from your previous employer. That means a lot of explaining will have to come from your end (all be it truthful) for that potential gap in time when you list past employments.

It is not "illegal" but don't expect to be paid for the day, and don't expect a good review from the company if you use them as a reference in a future job application. It is not a good idea to burn your bridges behind you.

It's not illegal to just not show up, although it doesn't leave a very good impression and could affect you in the future if somebody calls them for a refence for you.

those things that are illegal are crimes. Employment violations are torts. YOU can
be held responsible for things and lose your pay but unless you steal or lie or perform a criminal
act, things you do at work will not lead you to
jail.

i think employment is at will in most all states. my understanding is that either party can terminate with or without notice.
