How to a avoid a misdemeanor on my record

I was arrested this evening for allegedly serving alcohol to someone underage, who was working for ABT (alcohol, beverage, and tobacco) here in Florida. I have NEVER been in trouble before, I'm a good student and a Marine Corps Veteran. How can I keep this from going on my permanent record?
