A charge dismissed without prejudice can be refiled if and when they believe they have enough evidence.

Yes, if a case is dismissed without prejudice, the prosecutor can later refile the charges. Sometimes, a new charge will convince a prosecutor to refile the charge on the old, dismissed case. It's best that you hire an attorney and do not talk to the police under any circumstances.
