What is the name of your state? Pennsylvania
I was caught by a store detective lifting a few hundred dolars worth of goods froma store. Since it is more than $150 worth, it's my understanding I would be charged with retail theft misdemeanor first degree. I was told by the detective I would recieve a summons from the magistrate and I might be granted ARD.
Is it true I might qualify for ARD? I have no previous offenses, not even a speeding ticket.
Can I have a defense attorney when appearing before a magistrate?
Can I bring my baby with me to court if I dont have anyone to watch him?
