    Default Arrested for Shoplifting, Age 17, First Offense

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: New York
    Hi I was recently arrested for shoplifting at best buy in Nassau County in long island. the merchandise i stole costs $60 and I was caught on camera and detained by best buy security until the police came to arrest me. this is my first offense as I have a clear and clean record.
    I am currently 17 years old and will turn 18 in November. The police told me that I will be charged as an adult for petty larceny. I'm meeting a lawyer sometime this week and will go to court in a few weeks.
    I heard that my record will go clean after I turn 18 but im not sure if its true. Also how will this affect my chances at colleges/jobs? Would the judge charge me of misdemeanor and just give me fines and probation?
