I strongly urge you to at least seek consultation with some Attorneys. However if you must you talk to the DA about any plea deal. Over a theft so small its very likely going to work in your favor as far as plea deals goes

You do not know the laws, Judges, DA's, your options etc etc. doing this without the help of at least a Public defender could cause you not to get best deal. Is it possible you could still get good deal with DA? Sure. However would you extract your own tooth or call a Dentist?

Open the Yellow pages and find "Criminal Defense Attorneys".

The Retail theft database and a criminal record are not samething! Which are you referring to?

For your protection the store name was removed from post. You need to start calling Lawyers (many offer free consultations) ask them about diversion as plea option

There is no way to be removed unless the company that inputted your name removes it

I have no clue what this officer is saying. If you have a court YES show up. In mean time start calling Attorney (many offer free consutlations). Ask these Attorney about Diversion as possible plea option

Its a form letter. It bssically tells you what you have to pay etc. However it also tells you that payment will not prevent criminal charges if the store decides to file.
