Courts

I was caught shoplifting in a grocery store. I put the products into my purse in the bathroom. The loss prevention staff saw the product boxes I removed and threw into the trash can and stopped me. I did not walk out of the store or try to pass the checking point. I returned everything. But the grocery staff filed the paper work to the court. I got the summon from the court today. It says I need to show up on Jan. 9 to answer the complaint of conversion. I am confused, am I charged for a crime? From what I know, shoplifting in IN usually is charged as Class A misdemeanor. Why the summon just listed "to answer the complaint of conversion"? It's ordered by the judge. Is there any possibility that this incident is treated as civil case?
