Can they compell the man who pressed the charge to testify.He cant bond out on the grand theft because of the probation hold. how can he speed up process.

If you can afford a lawyer clearly that is the easy answer. A lawyer may be able to help on the case prior to the state filing charges and convince them not to file.
You would want to make sure that the victim files a "waiver of prosecution" with the state attorney.
It looks like you are in Lakeland, look up an attorney named Kevin Kohl; I have worked with him on a few cases. Tell him that I told you to give him a ring.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Good luck
