Re: Retail Theft

There is a way to keep this off your record,but first I need to know the answers to the following:

Give me the name of the store and its location, the amount of the goods, the amount and type of your bond, whether you signed a statement, and what district court has you scheduled for and appearance.

Also are you scheduled for an arraignment or a pre-trial hearing?
