An attorney can appear without the client at arraignments usually since the purpose is to hear the charges and enter a plea.

This is something you need to discuss with your lawyer since any attempt to contact the complainant by you can lead to other charges if things don't work out.

I would contact a lawyer for legal conusle and let us know how it works out.

I think the part, where you are "making a long story short" need to be elaborated on, because I am lost.  How did the mud get from you to the truck?
