Caught Stealing Jewelry in Arizona

Hello, today i was caught shoplifting a gold chain worth $25 in a khlos in Arizona. I was arrested and had to wait for my parents to pick me up. I am 17 years old and about to turn 18 on august 30th. This the first offense I've ever had. I don't know what to expect or happen can I get help?

Read the stickied thread, and read this.

If you have been charged with shoplifting, as you committed the crime while under 18 the charge should be in juvenile court. Read this.

Don't do it again. My brother got arrested for shoplifting at Shopko when he was like 17 - and he never did it again. Especially after they called my dad and said "Do you want to meet us here or the jail?" He said take him to jail. Show him everything.

He's fine now. Has had jobs, his own house, etc. Don't do stupid shit.
