Since your son has been arrested and presumably has criminal charges pending against him despite the victim stating that your son did not do the theft, your son should consult with a criminal defense attorney to represent him the the matter you are writing about. Possibly a good defense attorney may convince the district attorney's office to dismiss the criminal charge or charges.
