You cannot decide to drop the charges: that is a decision for the prosecutor. If you feel that there is a good reason for dropping the charge, you are free to call the prosecutor and ask them. Keep in mind that, if your son is asking you to drop charges, that could be defined as Tampering With a Witness, another crime.
