Answer

You should talk with an attorney in your area to go over your options and represent you. A class a misdemeanor has a punishment range of up to 1 year in jail and up to a $4,000 fine, so do not treat this matter lightly; seek legal counsel. No one can properly advise you until the specifics of your case are discovered.
