The worst case scenario is that you can be charged with either Larceny by Employee or Embezzlement, both of which are Class H Felonies for the amount of merchandise that you stole from your employer. Depending on your prior record level a sentence for a conviction of either one of these charges can be anywhere from probation all the way up to active time of up to 25-39 months in prison. This is a matter for which you should definitely hire an attorney to represent you. That way instead of being concerned about the worst case scenario, you can have an attorney working to get you the best case scenario.
And also please stop stealing things from your employer. It is an excellent way to ruin your record so that you can never get another good job. Employers don't like to hire prople who have stolen from their last employer, because they feel you might steal from them too.
