i'm seventeen years old and my record is clean. yesterday i attempted to steal $38 worth of merchandise from (dept. store). the staff wanted to call my parents to pick me up and i obviously didn't want to give them a real number and have them leave work early to come pick me up for shoplifting, so i texted my friend really quick hoping she'd help me out and gave them her number. she didn't see my text before she picked up her call and so they realized i gave them a false number. i gave up and said to just call the cops and so they did. the cops were actually really nice and praised me for being a musician and a straight a student. they gave me a citation and said i would get something in the mail containing a court date.
when can i expect a letter? how long till my court date? what will my penalties most likely be? what do i do and say in court to ensure that i get a lighter punishment and don't ruin it for myself?
