Definitely. Most important, show up for any court dates. Most courts offer some kind of diversion program, where you stay out of trouble and can get the case dismissed from your record. The law also allows cases like that to be settled through 'compromise'. That means if you pay the store back for any damages they claim, and if they agree to it, the judge can dismiss the case immediately. Good luck.
