Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Misdemeanor for petty theft

I was caught stealing a bottle of alcohol from a grocery store. i handed the bottle to the security guard and tried to run, but i was then tackled. i am 15 years old and have a clean record up to this point. i am wondering what the penalties for this case can be. the police officer said that i might not be able to drive until i am 21, IS THIS TRUE. i am hoping to solve this with some kind of civil compromise, so i dont have to get a record with the court. thanks for all your help.
