my daughter was in rite aid **** store looking for makeup to buy. She went in her pocket to gather up her money, and the clerk accused her of stealin

Wthout more facts it would be very hard to say.  However most retailers are privelaged against this type of lawsuit if they believe someone is stealing

Although I do not practice law in the State of Michigan, here are my initial impressions.  First, are you asking whether this would be sufficient for a law suit against the store, or sufficient for a lawsuit against your daughter?  Obviously, first it is necessary to determine whether your daughter was actually arrested as a result of the accusation.  If she was, then you would only have a suit for false arrest once her criminal charges were found either not guilty or dismissed.  If she was not, then chances are there are not sufficient damages to justify a suit against the store.  In any event, if your daughter feels that her rights were violated, or if she has pending criminal charges, she should hire an attorney.  Good luck.
