Criminal retail fraud (shoplifting) charges can be authorized regardless of whether the store invokes its right to seek the statutory civil demand (which is a sliding scale based on the value of the goods stolen).

Yes, quite possible. You should certainly not speak to anyone except your own attorney if you get charged.
