I suggest that you consult with a criminal defense attorney concerning the theft ticket that you received for stealing pumpkins from a pumpkin patch to assist you in the matter's resolution. Possibly, you might be eligible for "diversion" where if you complete the program the charge could be dismissed as to you.
