If I was given a letter that states that a criminal summons will be obtained by the Police what does that mean? The police were not called at the time of the incident. I was given this from the security guard at the store? Does that mean I WILL be chared by the Police? Any help would be great!

It sounds like the store means to prosecute you.

A summons is an official notice telling you when and where to appear in court to answer to a criminal charge. If you fail to appear in court, a warrant may be issued for your arrest.

I am in same situation, want to know if you did receive summons in mail even when police were not called.
Please advise

This is from May 2007 and this person has never been back to report how things worked out -

Well that's what I was trying to find out, if she could share her experience

Probably not if she hasn't been back in over a year - perhaps someone will answer you on one of your other threads.
