Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

IF there was active warrants ( for armed robbery and purse grabbing ) no arrest made and suddenly one month later the court dockets show case closed ,letter of release, does that mean its a done deal or does the state have the right to reopen later or do they usually only do that if they mean it. the defendant is on felony probation, of course vop now because of those warrants and has avoided the warrants. this is hillsborough county florida. if he was to turn himself in for vop do you think mabe they would reactivate the charges. do they tipically close cases to lure people to them ?

One, he needs to see an attorney about turning himself in on the VOP. If the other charges were dropped, they will probably drop the VOP.

Yes, they can refile the charges. If they didn't arrest him, up until the statute of limitations, usually 3 years.
