How to drop charges , and not appearing at court

[robbocop33]

Been pestered by an idiot for a while now, appears outside my house drunk shouting the odds at me, after getting his head filled with nonsense about me and basically been lied to about me, anyway.
One night I decided enough was enough, usual crap standing outside my house with an iron bar, threatening me, drunk etc. So I decided to call the police, initially just for the police to tell him to ps off and lock him up for the night.
So, few weeks go by and they've charged him, I didn't ask for this, can't be arsed going to court etc, he's just a harmless, gormless, easily led idiot.
I called the court and explained I never wanted to press charges, sent in the appropriate paperwork, couple of weeks went by, I get a letter saying I have to go?
What will happen if I/we just don't appear? Letter says I 'may' be arrested, incidentally, my misses who is a nervy person to start with has been embroiled in this too which makes me even more frustrated, as she gave the police a statement too!

What exactly did you think was going to happen? They'd interview with no biscuits, and he would learn a life lesson, and be a better person?

You started it, you get to go to Court and give evidence. You might be able to get your wife to appear by video, but that seems a little much.

So you've never heard of people getting a warning and not getting charged?

Yes, and if not true and spread by one or two including the idiot with the bar, why he's done nothing about it before?

Accused of? , I'm not the defendant, as usual on gassing station, the innocent OP party is eventually made out to be the bad'in, this site is fked, it's a joke.
If you people want to be made out to be worse than the person I'm taking to court, fine!
I've never sexually assaulted a woman, I've never stalked a woman and left notes on her windscreen, I've never deliberately stood in a pub and said someone's having an affair when they haven't, I've never stolen money and drink from people in bars, I could go on, but please don't start the typical Pistonheads tactic of turning on the OP!
My job involved me going through a thorough police check, and that clean sheet means a lot to me, however, maybe Pistonheads should be a more accurate representation of my character??
Please don't bother replying, nothing else is getting read!
