My question involves criminal law for the state of: Washington State

I was caught shoplifting at the University Bookstore in Seattle. I was detained outside of the bookstore by the LP and walked back into the back room with them. I had my picture taken and told not to come back into the bookstore for 7 years. What I wanted to know was what kind of punishment do you think I'm likely to face? Will they send me a court summons at a later date? I know they will be sending me a letter for civil demand. Also if i do have to go to court what are my options to not get this on my record(if any?) Thanks for looking and replying.
You don't say if you are a student - if you are, a report would be sent to the campus police department and the Dean's office. I don't know what the process is at your college, if you're a student, but you could face some type of school based disciplinary action.
