Retail worker- no proof civil demand?


I currently work in retail as management. Recently I was accused of shoplifting from another store, after I had purchased an item. The manager in charge told me that they needed me to fill out paper work with my information and that they would charge me. I explained to the clerk that I had been in the area but hadn't been involved with the missing item. mall security was involved and said that there was nothing that he could do and to drop it. But the clerk insisted that I had taken a pair of earings out of a pack of 10 and at first saying i had put them in my ears (but later changed it to saying i must have ditched them) after they let me return to my store.
I told her that I would not sign anything without first talking with local police. The officer said that they didn't have solid proof agenst me and he wasn't going to follow up on it.
However they did take down my information (address, phone, ect.)
Now the manager that owns that store is trying to transfer into my company (but at a different location)

So what I want to know is:
What will become of the civil demand.?
and since I work retail, and she is trying to get hired into my company can i get fired?

Civil cases require less proof than criminal cases, but seeing as there in no proof whatsoever (merely an allegation), I think you will win your civil case. You may even have grounds for a countersuit based on them filing a false claim against you.

I seriously doubt that if this person were to be hired by your company, that he/she could have you fired as a means of revenge. That would be grounds for yet another civil suit for wrongful termination.
