Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia

I am on first offender felony theft probation. A couple days ago i got charged with a $28 shoplifting charge from walmart. I wasnt leaving the store, i checked out with my handicapped mother and i remembered about the shoes then. I put them on in the shoe section and brought my old shoes that were in the new box to the bench outside the mens bathroom in the back of walmart. I forgot to pick them up but i planned on paying for them when i remembered after i checked out with my mom. I was going to help my mom gt her food first then pay for the shoes. I need to know if thiscan be dropped its ridiculous.
