I can't answer how it would be without knowing more information. You really need to talk to an attorney in person and explain all the details. Once you do that they can explain if there are ways to get the charge dismissed or some other outcome.

I'm a bit confused also. Were the charges dismissed already? If so, you should consider having them expunged so it doesn't stay on your record.

I can't answer exactly why the SAO would file charges.
