He will not get arrested again on the same charge unless:
(1) He failst to appear in court or fails to comply with the terms of his release. In this case a warrant may go out for him and he may be arrested.
(2) Some new evidence surfaces that he is a flight risk, a threat to the public, etc. In this case, the police and / or DA would need to present that evidence to a judge and seek a revocation of his OR release and the setting of bail. He could then be re-arrested.
(3) He can be re-arrested at the direction of the judge.
Other than that, he should be clear of re-arrest.

He was "released on his own recognizance", meaning that the judge does not think he is a flight risk (the judge believes he will show up on his future court date). Does your boyfriend have an attorney? He should talk to the attorney and try to get a good plea bargain. The plea bargain is a deal worked out between the defense attorney (your bf's atty.) and the prosecutor. Since the charge is a lower form of theft, he can probably get a deal with no jail time or time served.

He can get arrested again if he commits another crime or fails to show up at the court house on the date given to him on the card. As far as I know ROR means remand on own recognizance (the let you out until the hearing with no bail set). As long as he keeps out of trouble he should be fine. He probably shouldn't leave the state until the court date though, that usualy looks bad.

The DA could ask for bail, but if he showed up for court, the judge will probably not go along with setting a bail.
