(Aug. 31) -- The daughter of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani agreed in court today to one day of community service in return for having her shoplifting charges dismissed.

Judge Jennifer Schecter told 20-year-old Caroline Giuliani to "stay out of trouble and avoid re-arrest," noting that the charges will be dismissed if she doesn't run afoul of the law again over the next six months, ABC News reported.

Giuliani was arrested Aug. 4 after a security camera at a Sephora cosmetics store in Manhattan recorded her with items worth a little more than $100 in her coat pocket.

The district attorney's office said the deal to wipe out the charges is a standard offer given to first-time shoplifters when a small amount of money is involved, and not any special treatment afforded the daughter of a former federal prosecutor, according to The Associated Press.

Neither Giuliani nor her lawyer said anything to the judge.

Giuliani, a student at Harvard, is due in court again Nov. 4 for a report on the status of her community service, The New York Times reported. She appeared in court today with her mother, but not her father, who earned a reputation as a tough-on-crime mayor.
