You need to pay the restitution. If asked, either directly or on the paperwork you fill out, you have to tell the diversion supervisor about the new case, arrested or not. Go to court on the new case and try to get it dismissed. make sure your attorney knows about the diversion case. Your diversion may get dropped and your case sent back to court, but diversion is for people who can keep their act together.

Re: intervintion program

The State of Florida may drop you from your PTI prggram for violating the rules of PTI (by picking up a new charge). If so, your original case will go back to court and will need to be addressed (in addition to the new theft case that you picked up).

You may want to consult with a local attorney now that you have multiple open cases.

If I can be of any assistance, please give my law firm a call.

Good luck,
