If you are a first offender, ask the DAs office if they have a pretrial intervention program. This allows you to go through a probation period, pay some fines,etc and if satisfactorily completed it is dead filed-there is no conviction and no prosecution. If not, it is a suspended sentence, fines, etc. with a probation period. This is an enhanceable crime meaning another conviction the penalties will go up.
