The last thing you want to do is post a legal question o this board.
Many things vary from state to state and you can get different answers from everyone under the sun.
In this type of case - I believe the person could be arrested again. It wouldn't usually be considered double jeopardy. Double jeopardy is usually attached at the moment you plead - the arrainment in this case.
There may be other laws that prevent the reincarcertaion of the individual before a plea can be entered, but it depends on the law out there.
Your best bet is to call the district attorney/State's Attorney's office and ask for an ASA/ADA and ask them.
