Is it true that a asset protection person can charge you with a crime? Even though you haven't receive a court summon? I'm sure they might have entered me into a retail theft database.. But a put something on my record??

The LP would write up a report and forward it to the Prosecutor's office for review.
The loss prevention people call the police. The police take a report which should include a written and/or verbal statement by the loss prevention personnel and any witnesses. There might also be video tape evidence, documents signed by the suspect, etc.
In some cases the suspect might be booked, might be released at the scene, or might be released with a citation to appear in court.
The police will forward the report to the District Attorney who will then make a decision on prosecution. If prosecution is to go forward and no citation to appear had previously been issued, then a summons or an arrest warrant will likely be issued.
