Yesterday I got caught shoplifting hair care products from [Store]. It was 23 dollars worth of stuff and the loss prevention took me into the back room, had me fill out paperwork, and then the police came and gave me a ticket. They were all very nice to me because they said I seemed like a good kid who just lost their way. I am a good girl. I just made a stupid decision that is possibly going to ruin my life now. I was supposed to ship out for the Navy Monday morning (tomorrow) and now I don't know what to do. My recruiter said that I might get disqualified for this if I don't get it taken care of soon. It's a Class C misdemeanor of theft under $50.

How long does it take for theft to be filed in the system, and would the judge be more lenient on me if they knew I was about to go into the military? And how much is a fine? I'm scared and don't know what to do. I know I shouldn't have done what I did. I can't even explain how embarassed and ashamed I am, but the last thing I want is for this to keep me from getting my life together finally.
 
You need to start calling lawyers. Many offer free consultations get as many as you can. Talk to them about diverion or similar programs because a theft conviction will likely keep you out of the Navy.
