    Default Stopped for Shoplifting and Caught With Drug Paraphernalia

    I'm 18 and I got caught shoplifting from shopko in Nebraska it was about $30 of makeup but they also found my pipe and grinder in my bag. I confessed and they gave me a citation and said I might either get diversion or probation in court, that was before they found the pipe and grinder though, I heard I'll probably have to pay a fee but since it wasn't just shoplifting will it be more serious? Also do I need a lawyer, and I heard pleading guilty might not be the right thing to do? I've only been in a courtroom once before & I was too little to know why I was even there so I really don't know what to expect please help!

    Yes, you do need a lawyer.

    The drug thing is a serious matter and you've already said too much.

    Nebraska makes the first offense possession of paraphernalia a civil infraction of $100. I would consult an attorney before going to court. Diversion is a great idea. Getting convicted and having probation is less so. At least in some Nebraska counties, the pretrial diversion is run by the county attorney's office. You can inquire there.
