I keyed a car in a parking lot because I was upset about some things. I realized what I did was wrong and felt awful about it. I went and turned myself into the police. The officer that I spoke with felt that since I had turned myself in, realized my wrong doings and was willing to pay for damages that no charges would be filed against me. I paid over 2000.00 for the damages I had caused to their insurance company.
I now have received felony charges against me. I have never committed a crime previous to this one and will never again. I take full responsibility for my actions but feel a felony is quite harsh since I paid for the damages immediately. I also feel with me turning myself in and explaining my circumstances to the officer and him reassuring me that should count for something in my favor. What is your opinion? Thanks for answering.
