My friend was working at subway and she started to get mad so i got mad. i freaked out and started yelling and shoved a plastic tray off the counter and on my way out i hit the plastic sub. I left and came back to talk to the cops, but they said they cant do anything about what happened in subway, its up to the owner if he wants to press charges. That friend texted me and said the owner is pressing charges. I dont know whats going to happen, thats why im asking. if the cops are going to come after me and arrest me or if ill get something in the mail.

A criminal damage to property report was probably made. Talk to your friend, and see if the owner will accept payment for any damages. Do not attempt to talk to the owner directly. If payment is accepted, then most likely the charges will be dropped in court.

Come after you, I highly doubt it. Badge-bearing bullies don't usually work that way nowadays. What they usually do is not even TRY to alert you about a warrant they have with your name on it until some night when you're on a hot date and they pull you over and slap the cuffs on for an outstanding warrant.
But, I doubt that would be the case, if the badge-bearers you met up with didn't cuff and stuff you right then and there, it's because they didn't perceive enough probable cause for an arrest. (In other words, completely disregard the answer from this forum's so-called top answerer).
But if you did break something and you know that it was you who broke it, you really should go about trying to get it repaired or replaced.
When I was in high school, a friend and I were screwing around and I wound up breaking a window pane in a store. My friend decided to make a mad dash away from the place, and was more than just a little bit appalled when I approached the store owner and owned up to the damage I'd done.
As it was, because it was insured the $150 pane of glass only wound up costing me the $50 deductible and all was well-- better actually, because the pane was replaced with safety glass. It took me about three month's to pay that off, but I think it was worth it all the way around.
Why not do the same thing and own up and find out what kind of deductible they've got.

Hello,
I would think you will get something in the mail telling you when to show up in court, you may even be served personally by a cop or another server. If you blow this off then I would think a warrant can be issued for your arrest.
One just can not go out of control and break another persons property and think it is ok. Now if you would have paid for the damages or at least talking to the owner or manager about payments that might have gotten you out of this.
Responsibility sure sucks sometimes.

If you don't answer to the charges then you'll just get yourself into more trouble and eventually you may get a visit.
As it stands now, simply answer to the charges and be available. It's not an arrestable offense. Yet.
Easiest thing is to simply pay the store what you owe in damages and I bet the manager will drop any charges.

Go and pay for it. If the owner don't want to take the money, you can deposit it with an attorney and send the owner a notification.
I'm not sure if there's any other way in your jurisdiction. Here I can go to court and make a deposit.
He won't go to court (unless he has something personal against you) if you pay for what you've broken.
And if he do, you showed that there was no intention to harm and that you're willing to make amendments.

hahahahahaha! You broke the plastic sub!! hahahahahaha
Don't worry about the pressing charges... just say it was an accident. If you're ever contacted by the cops, just ask em, "how could I correct the situation?"

You broke the plastic sub! What's it worth...$5? Tell the owner you'll buy it.

You just have to pay for the damages you made. But I believe you won't be held any charges, unless it is intentional.

Now that you've confessed to everything on the internet, yes, they'll read this and come after you. I suggest using payphones only. And don't go out in broad daylight. Not for a good two months.

It sounds like a civil matter. You will probably be subpoenaed to appear in small claims court.
