I made a mistake. I was arrested for stealing $45.00 of stuff from a store in N.Y. I was arrested 10 years ago for a simular crime. I currently work in a bussiness that requires you be finger printed(its not a bank). Will the police send my prints to my job? Second can I apply for a diversion program I'm 28 years old in grad school? I cant afford a lawyer. Can I ask the court to lower the charge and not have a record for this charge. I'm really afraid that I will lose my job or I will not be able to get another because of this charge. What can I do to not have this small charge ruin my life. I would be willing to do community service for the rest of my life.
