Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

I filed a complaint against my boyfriend for breaking my phone and he is getting charged with unlawful entry and destruction of property. When i went to file the complaint the officer asked me to describe my situation, and I did, and he asked me if my boyfriend used forced entry to get it, I told the officer when I tried to close the door my bf stopped me from doing so and came into the house so in return the officer said it was forced. So I wrote that in my complaint about forced entry. Anyways, my bf has since replaced my phone and I want to drop the charges. I know that can't necessarily be done now that the complaint has already been filed. Is there anything I can do, like contact the DA's office and talk to someone or will we just have to go to court and I ask that they be dropped then? He is in the military and fears he will ALSO recieve NJP for this situation. He has not been arrested yet either.

Yes, you should contact the local prosecutor's office well before the next

scheduled hearing date as to why you believe that the charge(s)

in your opinion should be dropped.
