A:
You will need to speak to a local attorney. A Walmart employee is authorized to request that you be trespassed from their store. If you signed it and agreed, then you cannot go back to the store because you have been warned. This does not necessarily mean that you are not being charged. Law enforcement can issue you a Notice to Appear which is a criminal charge without arrest.
The officer can also refer the case to the prosecutor's office to see if they decide to file charges. Just because you were not immediately arrested does not mean that charges are not possible.
