Alright, brief story bare with me please I need some guidance...
A good friend of mine was getting married, I was his best man. (He is 21, I am 18) so I drove up to Oregon to see him and stayed there for a week. For his bachelor party we went out to a juice bar with some friends and ended up going back to his place around 1am. Around 2am we decided the night was too young to be over so we went out again and took a huge streetsign (I mean like 5 feet wide and 2 feet high this thing was BIG!) It wasnt a traffic device or anything like that, it was just a big street sign.
We were pulled over and ended up recieving a citation with an order to appear in Court on July 25th (1 month from the occurance). Obviously I couldnt stay in Oregon until then so i came home and now dont know what to do.
Theft II in Oregon is a Class A misdemeanor. The fine to pay was 1300$, I sure as hell dont have 1300$ to chalk up as a loss. I want to know if anyone could tell me my options. Can I call the court and have it transfered to a local judge to plead for a lessened sentance based on no previous record? I am just torn up and putting off dealing with it but I need to face it and wanted some help.
Thank you, if I need to elaborate please tell me on what and I will post back.
Thank you again.
