A district attorney cannot continuously file new charges solely to keep someone in jail without just cause. Each charge must be based on credible evidence and legal grounds. However, if new evidence emerges or if the individual is accused of additional offenses while already incarcerated, the DA may file new charges. Ultimately, the decision to keep someone in jail depends on the legal process, including bail considerations and the nature of the charges.

What is a district attorney hold and can they bond out?
A district attorney can put a hold on a person that is in jail for the reason of investigation of modification of charges. If there is further information that is needed to aid in the prosecutions case in order to elevate charges, a hold can be placed in order to ensure that the incarcerated person is charged with the proper criminal complaint and that the bond reflects the situation. There is a time limit though and it is what is considered reasonable for the state that you are in. No bond is allowed during this hold.
If you didnt pay your fine off and you have a warrant for your arrest if you turned myself in do you think the judge would make you do jail time or let you out on bond?

If no charges are pressed by the victim of theft can you go to jail?
Persons/victims do not PRESS charges! The State's Attorney or the U.S. Attorney (depending on the crime) place the charges. Even with a reluctant complainant/victim, if there was enough evidence and/or probable cause to arrest you, indict you, and send you to trial, there is every reason to believe that you could be found guilty.

Is filing a false police report a felony?
I believe this might be lying to an officer of the court or lying to a police officer, but it might also fall under fraud or perjury. If it was a federal court, it might also fall under lying to a federal police officer -- remember Martha Stewart? I'd bet that nearly ALL of these charges could be leveled in some circumstances. There could also be charges of federal mail fraud if it cross state lines. I'm not a lawyer, so these are all guesses. Either a District Attorney, prosecutor, or a criminal defense attorney should be able to provide more details. It really depends on where you are and who you are. If you're a police officer, filing a false report is generally a misdeameanor and you will not be found guilty. On the other hand, if you don't have a good lawyer, you might find yourself guilty of a misdeameanor and in jail for a few days.
