Whether an alleged victim has 11 or 111 warrants pending for them has nothing to do whether someone can be charged with a crime against the person and kept in jail pending posting bond. Whether an alleged victim is not planning on returning or not them has nothing to do whether someone can be charged with a crime against the person and kept in jail pending posting bond. If the alleged person does not return that will be dealt with a preliminary hearing and/or trial.

What you need to do is hire a competent attorney that know how to handle criminal cases.
