Re: what will happen to me
It depends on the Court and the District Attorney. Most likely, the charge will be reduced to a violation such as disorderly conduct. Sometimes the person is order to attend a stoplift program.
Pleading guilty to a misdemeanor means jail. Therefore, I would strongly suggest that you retain a lawyer.
