DA bullying isn't unheard of. I don't know if this would have required a grand jury indictment or was within the DA's discretion, but DA bullying happens. Charge, arrest, extort a settlement of some kind (defending a charge is expensive), then quietly drop the charges, or accept a plea to something trivial.
