i was selling a tv and this guy "richard davies" wanted to buy it.
he sent me a cashiers check and i cashed it at the local drive thru.
i tried to wire him the money and didnt know i had to save the receipt.
i ended up sending him a money order back for the full amount because he was being really annoying with the nonstop emails and they couldnt pick it up with just there ID even though moneygram said they could.
then a week later the police came to my door and charged me with Felony Theft.

now the guy at the drive thru is willing to let me make payments and the police officer says if i work it out with the guy at the drive thru that he will drop the charges.
if i dont work it out soon my court date is thursday.
i have a 100% clean record and plan on going to a trade college soon but i dont think anyone will hire me if i end up with a felony on my record.
my question is how do i know that the charges will really be dropped and/or not filed again later.
also the cops were very nice. i was never arrested or read my rights they just dropped off the paper for my court date and told me i should work it out with the drive thru.
