Need Info on the Processing of Assault Charges in AZ?
I was assaulted yesterday, and the assailant was taken into custody on scene, along with video evidence and a written statement of the account.
A few hours later, I received a phone call from our local PD that he was being released from jail. Does that mean that charges are not being pursued, that or is it just part of the process? Because it was the city jail, I could find no record online with more info pertaining to the case

No that means that the person was released somehow, by bond or ror( released by his own recognizes). With assault cases, most time is by either money or property bond. Once a person is out of jail it is no longer public information. You need to call the courts or DA office to see how the person was released and any conditions where attached tot he release as well. And next court/hearing date, unless the cop gave you one already.
The DA will press charges against the guy. Under many state statutory laws, the DA will press the charges even if the victim refuses or want to drop the assault charges.
Normally, there is a no contact court order when a person up on those charges gets out on bond . Ask the cop or DA office if there is 1 or not.
This means he should have no contact with you in any way shape or form (including via the social media) BUT, that means the same for you-- you can not have any type of contact with the person .
If the person violates the no contact order, he forfeits the bond and will be sent back to jail. If you violate the court order, it is called contempt of court.
