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.
