Yes, they can press charges, but I would tend to believe the manager. What you can do is not steal any more.

Yes, your employer may still press charges, even though they agreed not to do so. Prosecute or not is up to the District Attorney in GA. But, it is common in retail to not prosecute when there is full restitution.
