My question involves criminal law for the state of: Arizona
I got caught shoplifting a five dollar item stupid I know I have no excuse and just want to resolve this issue. I was detained by security filled out paperwork and a police officer came to do the report. I was not taken jail but was told that I had a court date and that I was banned from all best buys. My biggest concern is I don't have the money for a lawyer and don't have the gas money to come back to Yuma multiply times. The item that I stole was five dollars before taxes I believe. What is my best course of action? Is there any chance best buy will drop the cost since it's a five dollar item? I'm pretty sure they are going to have me pay a resolution fee I believe can't remember exactly what it is called but it's around 250 dollars I believe. I can come up with that amount of money but I can't come up with money for a lawyer and gas to get back to Yuma. I was here for work as a company driver and can barely cover my bills. Any advice would be greatly appreciated thank you.
