Legal Question in Criminal Law in Indiana

My friend was caught shoplifting ($44) in a store in Indiana, she was not arrested, but did have to pay $200 in a civil demand, How she has received a summons for conversion and she is afraid she is going to jail, there is no money to pay for a lawyer and she is talking about not going to court. I know she has to show up and maybe she needs a lawyer. If she does not show a warrant may be issued for her arrest. Does she need to talk to a lawyer.
