More details to this question:
I stole a laptop from this woman\\\\\\'s house and she doesn\\\\\\'t want to place charges. Now the cop that is working my case really has a thing out for me, he has told people around the town that I live in I have stolen a bunch of things from people and that he is going to lock me up for three years, he has told this to a few people. Is that legal?? My dad is a good friend to this woman and she doesn\\\\\\'t want to place any charges on me, she got the laptop back and everything and because this cop has a personal problem with me is talking to the state attorney I am worried that they are going to make this a serious deal.

Stealing a laptop from someone is a serious deal. The state attorney can still press charges if the victim does not wan to. It is legal for the cop to brag, whether what he braggs about will ever come true is another matter. What you need to do is hire an aggressive criminal defense attorney to represent you in the theft charge. The attorney will read the police report or reports with a fine toothed comb and make an appropriate decision on how to defend you. Criminal defense attorneys are the ones who safeguard your freedom.
