L2 Visa with Petty theft charges

[mail2viishal@gmail.com]

I am on L1 visa status valid till 2014 and I have to apply for extension in 2014 dec. But there was an unfortunate incident in Jan 2013 in which I was arrested with charges of petty theft in California. 

I was charged with PC488 and did not had any jail time but had to pay fine . As I am applying for L1 visa extension & extension Petition is filed by my company’s attorney. 
As i do not want to disclose this to my company ?  Can i change from L1 to L2 visa and get extension based on my wife's petition ?

Could you give inputs on Petty Offence Exception ? 
As I understand I qualify ( only 1 CIMT, Max offense carries a potential sentence of a year or less, no jail term)

 

what steps i should follow to get L2 visa with this record ?

You realize that if you are asked about this by your company on an employment form and you fail to disclose it, when they find out then you are subject to dismissal "for cause".
