Yes, and they often do; so long as the trial or announcement as ready for trial has not been done. Then the defendant may object to the changes, and challenge the panel.

Added: If subsequent investigation by law enforcment discloses new evidence that the original offense was, in fact, a more serious crime than originally charged, the prosecutor can re-file the case with an enhanced charge supported by the new evidence.

You'll need to ask either a lawyer (or possibly a prosecutor) or check with the MVA, because the offense has a higher penalty in Virginia may or may not be applicable in Maryland, on the other hand they might carry it at the higher penalty. It probably depends on where your license is issued.

What crime if committed successfully can not be prosecuted?

In most states, DWAI is a misdemeanor. DWAI (Driving While Ability Impaired) is a lesser criminal charge to it's higher charge of DWI (Driving While Intoxicated). You can be charge with DWAI if your BAC is .05 to .08, or if a prosecutor can successfully prove you were driving impaired. To be charged with DWI, your BAC needs to be .08 or higher, could also involve the failure of a roadside sobriety test. A person charged with DWI may plead guilty to the lesser charge of DWAI, if the prosecutor and judge agree. But it really doesn't buy you much. Basically, your fines, license suspension, and probation is less. But, the scar remains on your criminal record for life, same as DWI. So, when an employer asks if you have ever been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor, if you were charged with a DWAI, you need to answer "Yes."
