you could do a combination of the following.
Allow for certain amount of ticks after the placing of a flag (which can be removed by a fine) for the person to go to a certain mob to pay the fine (guard captains in any of the cities).. until fine is paid, shopkeepers will not deal with you. Make the time for this as short as required.
Fine could be type of crime * rank or something cos growns ups should know better.
just a thought
