    Default Minors Shoplifting At Wal-Mart

    - New Jersey
    A few days ago three friends and I were caught shoplifting from walmart. We were stopped walking out of the store by the security workers and escorted to a back room. They told us to show them the suff we had in total it added up to $103. They took all of our information and made us sign a form saying we were banned from the store. The police were called and we were hand-cuffed and taken to the police station. The police said they were unsure if walmart was going to press charges or not but if they did we would have to appear in court and would have to pay a fine of sorts and possibly have to do community service. My question is : is there anyway or anything we can do to keep this off of our records? all of us are minors and no one has any priors.

    A diversion program should keep the shoplifting conviction off your record of wal mart does press charges. Not much you can do now but wait it out. If you do end up going to court, either hire a lawyer, or if you can't afford one plead not guilty in court and request a public defender, discuss diversion with him. The unfortunate thing is you were arrested, and you probably aren't going to be able to get rid of the arrest record.
