If you were wit the other person and knew they were shoplifting you could be charged as an accomplice. You do not have to have anything on you, they will claim you were a "lookout" or helping somehow. Next time you are with a "friend" who is a thief run the other way and never talk to them again, they are a bad decision maker. They will get you in trouble. Do not hand out with criminals and do not break the law yourself.
