I think it should read 849(b)(1) - the Penal Code section that authorizes a peace officer to release a person who was arrested if they determine there are insufficient grounds for a criminal complaint to be filed.

That doesn't mean the case is completely over necessarily. The person could have been released from custody while further investigation is done. Or - it may be over if they determine there is nothing to the case.
