This "grey matter" area needs the advice of an attorney. Arrest Warrants issued are based on a charge, and are not subject to case numbers assigned. Further, often times, there are several charges that can be assigned to a warrant that are separate from each other with regards to case numbers. You may have more than one charge pending. This isn't the basis for which charges are dismissed. It is a simple proccess to re-issue a warrant for the other charges once a person is in custody. Also, warrants are issued because a person is wanted to answer a charge and again, the case isn't assigned until the warrant is executed. Often times, the charge, when pressed, aquires a number for tracking purposes in the system. when the warrant is executed, then the number assigned to the case may or may not be the same that is on the warrant.
