What is the name of your state? Washington DC

This is my first time offense.

Hello, I was caught drinking in public and arrested yest. Police took me to jail and let me go after posting a collateral of $25. They also took my fingerprints. I made a stupid mistake and don't want to go to court to contest it and drag it further. Is there a way to get this record expunged by participating in a misdemeanor program?
Thx for any advice.
