Is attempted burglary of an occupied dwelling a felony in the state of Florida, even if the person didn't get?
A person attempted to enter my home via prying the door at night, I awoke and gave chase. Later the same person burglarized another unoccupied dwelling, got away but was caught later on that day and was charged with grand larceny also. Two questions:1 Is attempted burglary of an occupied dwelling a felony even if they were interrupted before they entered, and :2 If the victim of the second burglary and grand larceny refuses to press charges, can and will the state press charges for the people of the state.

Yes, it is a felony. Yes, the state can still press charges on the first break-in, even though it wasn't completed. The second victim has absolutely no say in whether charges are filed. The District Attorney will make that decision. Go make a police report if you haven't already.

If you rob someone, you have committed a crime. The police catch you and arrest you, the person you robbed can't decide not to press charges. Whether or not to file charges is up to the prosecutor.

Yes and yes. It is a felony and the state may prosecute even if the person refuses. But, it is highly unlikely.
