Whether or not you will be allowed bail is a question that only the judge can answer. Chances are that you may not since similar charges are pending in another state and you apparently committed the same offense in Florida while awaiting trial.

As to your girlfriend, she can be charged with a crime if the police so decide to do so. The bigger question is whether or not there is enough for her to be convicted.

I strongly suggest that you retain a criminal attorney prior to meeting with the police. Your attorney can try and resolve the issues prior to your meeting or to work out your release if you are placed under arrest.
