Wait till you get summons! then either hire an Attorney or ask for public defender. Talk to said Attorney about diversion programs and if you qualify this can help keep a conviction off your record. You should also get a Civil Demand request pay it or make arrangements to pay it. Keep those promises or things could get worse. The summons make take longer than 30 days but 30 day mark is likely. the DA will not give this priority because of amount. If found guilty you can expect the following but not a guarantee
.Fines (less than $1000.00)
.Community Service
.Probabtion (summary)
.Possible ban from store
Civil Demand (serparate from court around $250.00)
