Shoplifting, Larceny, Robbery, Theft First offense petty theft. HELP

Hello. I'm 18 and live in Oklahoma. I've been 18 for 9 months and have no priors on my record. I was recently caught shoplifting items totaling around 25 dollars from a local Wal-Mart. I've never been in trouble like this in my life and I'm terrified of the consequences. I know what I did was wrong and I will never put myself in that position again. My biggest concern is that this will go on my permanent record. What are my options for keeping this off my record? I am willing to do any amount of community service or other program. Please Help.

You make no mention of Police! Without Police involvment and a court date you have no worries of record outside store. If you are charged you should seek legal counsel right away. Then ask this Lawyer about Diversion as possible option. This will get you what you desire. You can also visit the link in my signature line (shoplifting after your caught). There are experts in this area there that can help
