Although the police didn't include specifics of the incidents, the difference could be the cost or value of the stolen items. Stealing more expensive or valuable items usually results in a higher charge. One of the women could have tried to steal something $50 or under, which is why she only received a citation. But if the other woman stole something worth hundreds or thousands of dollars, it could explain why she was sent to prison.
