Shoplifting, Larceny, Robbery, Theft Shoplifting newjersey

Incident took place 2 weeks ago . This is my 1st offence .Caught shoplifting at sears above 100 dollars . They took back room and took my ID,address,height and weight and took photograph. No fingerprints . And i signed 2 papers i dont know what papers were those. No police involved, later in a week i received civil demand which is of 150$ i paid the same day i received the mail. Now what can i expect from them . Is it possible they press charges on me . Im not a minor. Please do help. Lp told u will receive a letter from my lawyer pay the fine. If needed u will come to court . What does this mean ?

They shouldn't press charges. Usually once they got your loot, you're free to scoot.

Possible? yes likely no as stated the store has NOTHING to gain by doing so if you paid Civil Demand
