Legal Question


Criminal charges and record

I was recently charged with misdemeanor theft from a department store where I worked. The day I was accused and terminated, I was obligated to pay back the amount and was later escorted by security personnel and handed to the Police. A citation was issued and I went home. I have no previous criminal records (it was a poor judgment case, my first and for sure the last!), I currently have a full time job at a financial institution and I am concerned about criminal records and even termination from my current employment. What is the best course of action to avoid jail time, probationary periods and more importantly, criminal records that can hamper my future?
