    Unhappy Shoplifting in Florida

    I was caught shoplifting in florida last month. i have absolutely no record up until now, and have never been arrested before. my court date is coming up and i am starting to get worried. i am from out of state but have been here studying for a few months... and will be going home next month, so i am not considered a florida resident.
    the items totalled about $55... i was taken to jail, and my bond was MUCH higher since i am not a FL resident.
    i specifically remember them not reading me my rights and when i got to jail i never got a phone call. luckily my family got worried and found out where i was after calling around.
    i just want to get this all over with as fast as i can and i want it taken off my record if possible.
    what can i expect to recieve? how can i get it off my record? should i even bring up not being read my rights and not getting a phone call... or will this just drag things out?
    any information would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

    Consult with a criminal defense Attorney and ask about Diversion programs. Diversion can help you keep a conviction off your record and still meet punishment requirements
