To be short, I was pissed that they did not allow me to exchange the produt that i bought, so I stole a similar product. Stupid move. I got caught stealing a $180 mp3 player. I also had my switchblade on me (which the police took).
I have a clear record, but I need it to stay that way. The store gave me a fine of 200, and the police paid my bail (which ihave to pay if i dont show up to court). The charge was Retail Fraud III.
I am 18 and live in michigan, is there any 100% way to get this removed from my record? Oh, and how much can I expect to pay as a fine?
Please help, I cant stress how much this means, and of course, the family is freaking out.
Thanks.
