It sounds very much like the case was "Nolled." (i.e.- a 'Nolle Prosequi' was entered by the prosecutor after making the decision to not pursue the charge. It was therefore - dropped/abandoned.)
The charge is no longer on your record.
When charges are dropped then you are free to go
false charges
"Case dropped" means that the charges or legal proceedings against the defendant have been dismissed or abandoned by the prosecution, usually due to insufficient evidence or other reasons. It typically signifies that the case will not move forward to trial.
Talk to your lawyer.

If you were taken into custody with the intent to be interrogated then yes, the charges could be dropped.
Sometimes charges can be dropped against someone even after an affidavit has been signed. It will really depend on the charges and city and state.
Do you mean dropped or dismissed? Charges are dropped by the prosecutors office and since (presumably) the case never reached trial, no judicial action took place that action is not appealable in court. On the other hand, charges which are dismissed by the court CAN be appealed and there is a "reasonable" time period for remedying the underlying reason. Ask your defense attorney.
No
Yes
Sometimes.
If you were charged with a felony assault and the charges were dropped, you do not have a criminal record. The charges can be picked up by the state at a later date.
