You should definitely not just plead guilty. Talk to a local lawyer about a disposition under MCL 333.7411 (a/k/a, "seventy-four-eleven"), a deferred sentencing law that would allow you to avoid a criminal conviction. Depending on the full facts, your lawyer may have other ideas, as well. You can see what the prosecutor is willing to offer without first consulting a lawyer, but that depends upon your level of comfort in going to court or dealing with prosecutors without representation.
