1. You shot something, when there was a police ship within scanner range which saw you do it:
or,
2. You left (not arrived at) a station with illegal goods in your cargo.

Your bounty will reduce with each system-to-system jump. The cops will stop bothering you after a few jumps, or when you pay a fine.

* Are you sure? That is odd.

Wildeblood's answer was based on the vanilla game code. But Hermitage requires a selection of other OXPs including Smugglers which introduces offender status for arriving at a station with illegal goods which are only illegal at that station. And there may be other OXPs involved too.

Could you post your list of OXPs? It will be found at the top of your [EliteWiki] Latest.log

1) Lobstoids are lobsters. But the usual punishment involves cleaning up after craboids - presumably a form of crab.

2) OXPs which annul the vanilla game's penchant for reducing criminal status with every hyperspace jump include [EliteWiki] Anarchies OXP & [EliteWiki] Bounty System.

3) Vanilla game legal summary:

Ummm.... you need to open the file, copy the relevant lines at the top and then paste it here in a post. Using the </> button just above on the left to format it as code display.

If the offender status keeps coming back, I'd reckon "Bounty System" is to blame. It doesn't matter how many jumps you make if that OXP is installed. Your crimes will follow you everywhere until you deal with them.
