Usually this would be a criminal citation.
However, there are some cases in which a state may sue one of its citizens in civil court.. such as for an injunction or for the recovery of money of some sort. In such a case, it would also be captioned like that.
Negligence IS a tort.. but a tort isn't necessarily negligence, either.

Civil. Criminal charges have to be made against a specific person (assuming the defendant is not actually named Jane Doe)
