Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia
Charges Nolle Processed
I was charged in Dec. for DWI and possession of marijuanna. The charging officer did not show up for the hearing therefore the charges were nolle processed. 8 months later the officer returned to this jurisdiction and recharged me with the charges that were nolle processed. Can this be done? I have not been in any trouble since this incident and planned to join the Army.

Yes, as long as the recharging was done within 12 months of the alleged commission of the misdemeanor offense.
