2003 arrested for shoplifting

i was arrested in 03 for shoplifting. (My 1st and last time)I moved out of the area for 3 years to care for my ill father who recently passed away. At the time I didn't have the money to pay any of my fines. But just recently paid restitution to the store. I tried to pay my court fines but the court would not accept them. I had to go back to court was given community service. At the time the judge gave me community serivice I was not working. I had no money for gas or auto insurance on my car. I live out in the country were we have no public transportation. I just recently went back to work and want to put this behind me. I don't want to go to jail! I have changed my life for the better. If I go to jail I lose my job... What should I do? Do i have any options?
