You need to consult with a criminal law attorney immediately. Frankly, you should have done so when this first all happend. Just becasue you haven't heard anything to date does not mean that the crminal complaint has been dropped. It might just mean that yor case is still being investigated. If you hire legal counsel, they can check into things for you. Hopefully it will just be to confirm that the case is not going to be prosecuted. However, if it is, they can at least then proceed on your defense.
