The one thing that you can do that would be foolish is to go to court without a lawyer. Hire one and determine what to do. (It is very possible that neither of the "choices" you mention is the right one, and a lawyer will be hugely helpful).

The judge may or may not accept a nolo plea. IF you enter a first offender plea, there are a number of things that will impact you, like you will not be able to possess a firearm or go hunting.

Good luck
