You need an experienced criminal defense attorney now. The prosecutors determined there is enough for a warrant. An attorney will be able to discuss the details of the case and sequence of events with the prosecutor, and attempt to get the case dismissed.

Can I file in a differant County. If I do can the dismissed cased be re-opened after I already filed?
