This is very unfortunate and I am so sorry for you that a $5 item can cause so much trouble. It's now on your record and I wonder whether you can have this offense expunged. You should look into expungement within your state and you'll have to provide it here if you want to find out procedure. Otherwise go to the court house in your district and you can ask questions in the county clerk's office. Good luck to you and I hope that you also have success with your green card!!!
