Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

my husband just got a nol process on a charge from last year, at court on 1/21/15. He had signed for rental furniture for his boss, was responsible when boss didn't pay, of course , boss is mia now for a year. so showing all proof we had , it was nol processed

now the dummy was just arrested today for shoplifting, under 50.00 , two baseball hats, in va , a petty larceny. will his nol process affect this new charge, will he get a bail? i read the second offense is an immediate 30 days in jail, but is nol processed count as an offense??
