I am afraid I already know the answer, but don't want to give my friend the wrong answer.

BAIL is set by a Presiding Judge at an arraignment hearing. This is where the accused is formally charged with the crime. The seriousness of the offense usually determines the amount of BAIL. For a petty theft, bail could be as low as $ 500.00. For more serious capital crimes, the bail goes up tremendously ($1,000,000.00 is not unheard of anymore) and the accused would likely have to take out a BOND for that amount by putting up at least 10% of the entire amount. The accused stays in Jail until the bond is posted to the Court.
The D.A. or State Attorney cannot revoke the BOND. They can, however, petition the Court to REVOKE BAIL if the Accused has clearly demonstrated a reason for the bail to be revoked. Reasons for bail revocation could be among, but not limited to committing another crime, not showing up for a scheduled hearing, ignoring a Court order (to pay child support or some such other fine).
Many Judges are reluctant to initially deny bail for less serious crimes, however, given the proper and sufficient information, they'll revoke it in a heartbeat.
You should watch LAW & ORDER more often.

The answer is yes, apparently they feel that the person on the bond is a threat or a problem and they want them in jail until the trial. When you are out on a bond its a good will of the court to allow you your freedom until your trial is concluded . If you commit crimes or threaten people associated with the case, you can lose your freedom. To revoke the bond is to place you back in jail.

The Judge initially decided that he would set a bond amount to guarantee the accussed shows up for trial. I would guess your "Friend" has done something to cause the SA to feel that he is a flight risk or a further risk to society and has asked the Court to revoke the bond. Therefor, your "Friend" will have to wait for his day in Court cooling his heels in the county jail.

Yes, it seems that the state attorney still figures that the alleged is still a danger to society and in the interest of the public's safety,then this person should wait in jail till hearing.

if they are already in jail.....then I would think it means that they will not allow them to post a bond. I don't know how they would revoke a bond after someone had already paid though.

The prosecuting attorney would not. The JUDGE does that. And if she threw a cup of ice into the face of another driver, the other driver was not the only one with road rage. And in my opinion, throwing anything into the face of a driver of a car IS throwing a dangerous missile.
