    You can not "drop" the charges Only the DA can drop he charges, ( or crown if in canada)

    At this point he will have had most likely a first appearance to be formally charged and enter a plea, and perhaps a bail hearing to determine about current bail. Or to enter some motion.

    But no, they do not keep you informed, you will be notified if you are needed to answer questions in court.

    The DA will asking you about the assault, the defense may ask more questions trying to make it sound not that bad.
