My question involves criminal law for the state of: Connecticut

Today I was stopped by loss prevention outside of a sporting goods store. They stated I had some of their merchandise and after 30 seconds I dropped an item. They tried stalling me but I left immediately. They must of wrote down my license place # because soon after I got home, local PD was knocking on my door in Massachusetts. They even left a note at my parents house. I called the detective whose name and number was on the note and he said he was writing up a warrant. I told him I would cooperate and we scheduled to meet on 3/3/11. I assume I will be arrested and charged with a misdemeanor theft level 6.

My question is, is meeting with the detective the only choice I have. The store states they prosecute to the fullest extent of the law so I am pretty confident I will be arrested tomorrow. Just looking for any advice of this situation and any help would really be appreciated. I had a similar situation in the past which was continued without a finding and dropped after 12 months community service and restitution.
