If a charge is dismissed you cannot be tried for the same charge again. But, that applies to a charge relating to the same incident as the one that was dismissed. If, for instance, you steal a car, get caught, get charged and the charge is dismissed, the prosecution cannot retry you for that same incident. But, if you steal the car a second time, of course they can charge you for that. Since you say the two charges relate to incidents in two different counties, they are two separate crimes. Therefore, you can be charged for both of them. Consult an attorney to protect your rights.
