Well it depends on what those charges are. If they are like littering probably not but if you have a whole lot of speeding tickets and maybe even criminal charges then most likely yes.
If that is all the charges that they have filed with the DA then it is a misdemeanor.
The value of the property would control what charges are filed and it could be filed as a felony or misdemeanor depending on the value of the property.
slander
Not an underage child.
It would probably be considered a misdemeanor in Missouri. That would have a one year statute of limitations.
No you can't hold someone because they don't have to do any time or didn't plead guilty
Most states have a Statute Of Limitations during which charges can be filed against someone for certain types of crimes. Example, in Maryland you have a year and a day to bring or file charges against someone.
It depends on how it was dismissed Dismissed without predjudice means that the charges can be re-filed. Usually this is used when the Judge thinks there is lack of evidence for a conviction. If more evidence is found later, the charges can be re-filed. Dismissed with predjudice means that charges can not be refiled.
You can file, but it would be very very hard to assemble a case since it was not reported immediately.
Depending on the state and the crime...24 to 72 hours...after that you must be charged or released.
To press criminal charges against someone, go to the police station that is closest to where the criminal act occurred. This question is filed under "civil" cases. Charges are not "pressed" in civil matters.
The question is either missing some information or the questioner is not phrasing the question properly. If charges have "been filed" then you have been "charged." You may not have been located to be arrested yet, but you are still charged if they were filed. (???)
