ok, so i was shopping in a mall whenever i did a STUPID STUPID thing and put a 12.99 shirt in my purse at spencers, i was still in the store and had not exited and had not even moved whenever the store manager caught me and told me that he was calling the police, i was crying, upset..obviously i mean i thought i was going to jail, but the cop just gave me a citation and i walked out, i have a court date on January 4th and i was just curious if anyone could help me know what to say or what to expect to happen to me. It was my first offense, im 18 years old and i live in North Carolina, any help at all would be MUCH appreciated
