Legal Question in Administrative Law in Iowa

i was caught shoplifting in august and i was with my bf and he was stealing too but i wasn’t aware and they didn’t find the stuff he left until after i had been taken to the jail and he left. what can happen? the court papers i got in the mail said there wasn’t any proof of him shoplifting and that there wouldn’t be any charges. will they make me take the extra charges? i had a court date shortly after the arrest and was given a court appointed lawyer and another court date for november. this is also my first offense
