What to do if I’m being charged with a Gross Misdemeanor, Financial Transaction Credit Card Fraud?

However the statement I received with the summons in incorrect. My friend had given me her card to make a purchase for her. I forgot I had the card and used it thinking it was mine. My friend declined to press charges and I have offered to pay every cent back. I am guilty of using her card, but it was a card she had given me to make purchase for her. How can I reduce this charge?
