I think that you should immediately assert your right to have an attorney and don't agree to be interviewed without your lawyer present.

Is there an act on being charged for the same crime once it was dismissed?

Applicable statute of limitations. Until it runs, state can refile case since double jeopardy does not attach to dismissed case.

Should I be concerned about a police officers threat when there is no real basis for his assumption?

Of course you should be worries. If you've been to prison, you are likely familiar with the concept that the cops can arrest a person for just about nothing. All they have to do is convince a DA or magistrate that they have PC to arrest you. It sounds like you have a good legal defense, in the event they do pursue charges. But, you should definitely be careful. I wouldn't be sending texts to the person that was arrested for the POCS, unless I had to. If you do communicate with that kid, do yourself a favor: go buy a digital camera. Take a picture of every single text message on your phone that  you have sent to that kid. Make sure the time and date and content of the messages is clear. Email those pics to yourself. When cops or lawyers go after cell phone records, very often we can get records that show a message was sent. But, it is rare that we can get records that show the content of the message. So, if all they get is a bunch of text messages, they can fill in the blanks themselves. Don't let that come back and bite you in the behind. Also, I would recommend you not talk to them, if they ask. If they call, you should call an attorney right away.
