Call your local District Attorney's Office and tell them you no longer wish to pursue charges. Once you sign the Citizen's Arrest form that gives them a right to arrest the suspect. In order for something to be a crime there has to be a victim.
If you decide not to follow through and not go to court, there would be no victim/crime. You could also be jailed for failure to show up for your subpoena but that wont happen most likely.

What if you do not want to press charges any longer?
just let the police know. Answer Go to the particular police that charges were filed with and tell them that you would like to drop the charges. If the person has other offenses, sometimes the police will not drop the charges even though you want to...such as assault, domestic violence, etc. They can take over at some point and it will not matter if you wish to drop charges. If it is an isolated incident, usually they will drop the charges at your request. It depends on the situation, the police agency.
