    You should make no statement and do not admit any guilt even if they caught you with the item in your hand.

    You plead not guity and get a court appointed attorney if you don't already have one.

    Then a lot depends on past crimes and criminal record.
    But if your record is clean you should be able to work out a deal for first offender where it disappears after a probation period
