Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

in Los Angeles County, My boyfriend and I were wrongfully accused of child abuse of my two childrens, 4 and 6, by my mother. Both him and I were arrested, and my children were taken to foster care. However, the children dependency court judge released the children back to me at the detention hearing. Although the DA did not press for the child abuse charges, my bf is still in jail because he was on felony probation for marijuana possession. They are holding him for probation violation. What will happen? Is he going to have to stay in jail considering that the arrest was based on unfounded allegation and no charges were pressed?

It depends on if he was in compliance with his probation. It sounds, based on what you explained, that he can have counsel seek a release for him. If you want to start by contacting his probation officer, it might be an inexpensive way to start the ball rolling.
