It would be helpful to know which court you appeared in. At 16 it should have been Juvenile Court. Sometimes in cases like this the juvenile is sent to adult court. If no one objects, then its taken care of there. It seems as if you were either given supervision, or the case was dismissed upon payment to the store. Either way you can have your record expunged, providing you have nothing else on it. Please call for more information or help getting your record expunged.
