If a warrant is dropped are the charges dropped also?

Answer:
Not necessarily. The arrest warrant is an order from the court to the police, telling the police to arrest you and bring you before the court to answer to charges. If the court believes you will appear on your own, it can recall or quash the warrant, and you will be free until the court has ruled on the original charges.
If you want to find out if charges against you have been dropped, call the prosecutor's office (the DA, State's Attorney, or City Attorney) handling the case. They will know.
