Syracuse, NY asked in Immigration Law and Criminal Law for New York

Q: I was charged with shoplifting/ grand larceny yesterday. Can I leave Monday for a work training in Mexico?

I have not been arraigned. I received a ticket to appear on July 3rd but work has me out of the country from June 26-August 3. Will I have an issue traveling between the US and Mexico? I have retained a lawyer he was unsure if I could leave the country. I never was brought down to jail just received the ticket and was able to leave right after the incident
