Honestly, I'd get a lawyer. If you can get the charges for shoplifting thrown out, then you might have an illegal search on your hands which might throw out the weapons charge. Optimistic speculation on my part, but lawyers are there to be sure that you're fairly processed through the system at the least. If you don't know if you're getting treated fairly, then get someone who knows to stand by you.
And please don't tell me it was string cheese and a donut. What kinda Freudian snack is that??
