What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MARYLAND


Okay so I got arrested in Montgomery County Maryland, I was caugth steling from a store in the mall, and my sister bail me out, I gave a false name however they had my rigth adress because only my sister could bail me out at the time of course they didnt know she was my sister.
Now i dont want to be in more trouble so I was trying to go to court but I gave a false name =[
what could actually happen to me if they find out? or if I dont go to court? I know im gonna have a arrest order under the false name, are they gonna come after my sister??
I REALLY REALLY WANT TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER AND IM WONDERING WHATS THE RIGTH THING TO DO!?
SHOULD I CALLED AND GIVE MY RIGTH NAME NOW OR WAIT UNTIL COURT DO I NEED ANY ID IF I GO??

wow. you not only got yourself into a pickle for stealing, but you threw some whipped cream and cherries to top it off.

keep your sister out of it. don't mention her. go take your ID to your hearing, announce yourself. let them know you want to make amends. legally, you can get charged with giving a false identity. expect it. maybe, just maybe the DA will see your remorse and not throw those charges on top of that.

it wouldn't hurt to get a consultation with a few attorneys.

Were you ever arrested before?

If so, or if you've ever been fingerprinted, you should have been discovered when you were printed this time. You might already be charged with the additional charge(s). You'll find out shortly.
