A: It sounds like the DA directly indicted you on additional charges (i.e., you were not arrested on those charges but they are new charges arising out of the same incident). Unfortunately, in that situation, you can be arrested on those new charges. Unless the DA had a specific reason/basis to seek to revoke your bond, it is more likely your current bond was not revoked, but rather the judge denied bond on the new charges. You should ask these questions to your lawyer or speak with a criminal defense lawyer to see how they can help resolve your bond situation and the underlying case. Best of luck.
