If you file a report for domestic violence can you cancel?
Unfortunately, once you have made the report, it cannot just be canceled. If you are trying to get the prosecuting attorney to drop the charges, you can contact the attorney and see if they are willing to drop the charges. However, even if you want the charges dropped, the prosecuting attorney has the discretion to decide to drop the charges and decide not to prosecute the case.

if they want to
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.

When criminal law is violated is it broken or proved?
Private individuals do not have the ability to bring or drop criminal charges. The state is the one that decides whether to charge, and will decide whether to drop charges. The fact that you do or don't want your boyfriend charged is not the issue. If he goes to trial and you do not appear, one of a few things could happen. 1) If you are under subpoena, you may be found and forcibly brought to court. 2) The state may ask for a continuance to bring you to court. 3) The judge may find that without a witness, the state cannot go forward, and dismiss the charges. 4) The state may have a trial without you, and rely on other evidence, such as medical records or photographs.
Is a subpoena the same as a warrant?
The simplest way to describe it is - - - they are both "invitations" to come to court. The SUBPOENA asks you politely to come to court (with the implied threat that you can be made to come). The WARRANT is a demand that law enforcement bring you to court NOW - whether you want to come or not.
Can the victim of aggravated menacing drop the charges?
Once the charges have been placed only the prosecutor's office has the authority to 'drop' them. The complainant/victim may advise the prosecutor's office that they are reluctant to pursue the matter, but the decision is no longer their's to make, it is up to the prosecutor.
