I was arrested at a store for stealing I think around $150 worth of stuff. LP stopped me then police officers came, handcuffed me and took me to a holding cell, asked me questions, then took me to a county jail where I spent several hours until I was released OR. I was charged with Petty Theft 484PC (misdemeanor).
My court date is set next month and I don't know what I should do until then.
I'm 21 years old, in college.
First, what are the chances of spending jail time?
Can I request paying a fine and taking classes instead because I'm a college student who needs to go to school?
What should I plea?
Should I consult with a criminal defense attorney?
Should I complete a shoplifting class online before my court date?
I want this case to be resolved as soon as possible and how can I get this expunged from my record?
Thanks.
