    Default First time shoplifting, what do I do?

    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.

    You are charged with both retail fraud and a CCW offense?

    hey I was caught shoplifting at target. . $114.83 worth of video games.18 yrs of age, clean record as well. I hired a lawyer myself for $300, he got me into the First Offenders Program. Where I have to complete 75 hrs community service in 6 months. The program cost $200 and court cost was $110... Dont worry.. first time shoplifiting offense gives u a lil leeway now second time is a punishment.
