Background information-
I was convicted of a felony for insurance fraud 2 years ago in santa clara county. I was given 3 years probation, and I am able to have it reduced to a misdemeanor if I complete my probation. I did 200 hours of community service, paid back all restitution. I am in the process of having my probation terminated and getting my felony expunged. I am currently a junior at San Diego State University.

Today I was in the middle of rushing to midterms and getting scantrons, and walked into the mini store oncampus to get a power bar. There were lots of people everywhere in the store and when i was walking to the line I got a phone call, answered it then looked up at the clock and noticed it was 2 minutes until my midterm. I ended up walking out the store and then turned around when I noticed I still had the bar in my hand. I was immediatly grabbed by 2 LP men and put in handcuffs. A cop came and gave me a ticket for petty theft. The item wa $1.20.!!!
As of right now its circled as a misdemeanor. Can I ask this to be dropped to the infraction. If so will this not affect my probation and my filing to have my probation terminated.
Oh, and since this happend in the county of san diego, will the county of santa clara even find out about it?
