People can be arrested and released as many times as needed. There is nothing double jeopardy about that.
Cases can be dismissed "without prejudice" and retried later.
Double jeopardy only applies if the findings of a trial conclude the defendant "not guilty" then that specific case/charge is settled.
If another charge is added later, the defendant can also go on trial again.
