You are charged with a misdemeanor crime with potential jail time; the choice is yours whether to try to represent yourself. The facts and evidence are a major determining factor in the outcome. Feel free to contact me if interested in getting legal counsel, and if the case is in SoCal.

Absolutely. Very few laypeople can effectively defend themselves in court. Based upon what you have written you are innocent, but if you try to handle this without a lawyer you will probably lose in court.

Good luck.
