How long does it take to put an arrest warrant out for someone being acussed of using a stolen credit card?

Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. The short answer is that you can be charged as either a principle or accessory. Whether or not there is enough evidence to convict you needs to be seen. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced criminal defense attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your situation. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.

You can be charged but you believed that the card was legit. This is a defense.

You can be charged but it is a defense if you thought you had permission to use it. Problem is, since you did not talk directly to the person who owned the card, you'll have a hard time proving you thought you had authority.

You used the card, you can also be charged. Your daughter certainly knew the card was "stolen". I use that word because, although she "found it", she knew it was not hers, and when she chose to use the card, she committed credit card theft. Your situation may be a little different. If you truly did not know it was stolen when you used it, but believed you had permission to do so, you may not be charged criminally, BUT you will be responsible to pay back all the moneys you charged. My question to you that causes me to be a little suspect of your story is: Your daughter told you that the card belonged to he boyfriend's mom, who said your daughter could use the card to buy food, then why were you buying gas?

It possible that you could be charged. After the police conduct their investigation, they will forward their report to the prosecuting attorney who will determine what, if any, charges will be brought. The process should be completed rather quickly once the investigation is complete.

Get counsel if you are arrested, do not talk to the cops and give them the confession they want.
