If I am a 23 years old foreigner and I got caught shoplifting, what will happen if I missed my court date because I need to go back to my country?

RELAX. You can hire a criminal defense lawyer to deal with the case for you. I do this all the time for clients who had left the country by the time their court date came. There is a way to get the case dismissed. If you do nothing the Judge will issue a bench warrant for your arrest and you will likely be arrested if you try to re-enter the US.

You should have reported the threats to the police. This could be a felony and it is possible that the police could charge him. Act quickly, the longer before you report the crime the less likely the police will follow up.
