What happens if I get a petty offense on my permit record?

Don't take legal advice from the police. Hire an attorney to represent you so you can be sure to keep this off your permanent record. If you don't have any prior convictions for stealing, an attorney may be able to get this reduced to "Littering" or maybe an SIS (suspended imposition of sentence) and probation, which means that if you get arrested for theft-related charges during the probation period, the original conviction for stealing will be entered on your permanent record. If you stay out of trouble during the probation period, then the charge will be dismissed.

Can the prosecution call a hostile witness in a criminal defense trial?

Criminal Law lawyer at Craig W. Elhart, PC
She may be able to be called as a witness but that does not cause her to lose her 5th Amendment right against self incrimination. If her testimony would implicate her in a crime she can refuse to answer based on her 5th Amendment rights. She should seek legal counsel to assist her in this matter.

If you missed a court date and have a warrant how does a warrant recall work

If you are interested in resolving the warrant, you can contact a local attorney who can assist you in getting it resolved by assisting in getting the case put back on the calendar.  Avoiding the warrant is an option, but if you get picked up, you could go to jail.
