Hello. Thank you in advance. Here is my situation: In 2001, I wrote a bad check for 106.00$. I was pulled over on Sunday and found out that I had a warrant. I was arrested, but it wasn't really even like that at all. I wasn't hand cuffed, or put in a holding cell, and the Sargeant kept telling me this was not a big deal, the best of us write bad checks, and not to worry about it. I was released in 20 minutes, no bail, just a summons to attend court this friday. He advised me to bring 200 or 300 dollars to cover the check and the court costs. A friend is telling me to plead 'nolo', but I am guilty and just want to pay for the check & court costs and put this behind me. My question is, what is wrong with pleading guilty? Would any of you advise me to plead guilty or nolo? I have the money, it's only 300 bucks, but I've never been in legal trouble before and am unsure of what to do. Please advise, thank you.
