Spouse told me to recant my DV statement against him in front of 4 police officers. Is this an extra charge

My common law spouse was arrested this morning for breaching his EPO and no-contact order by coming to the house. He came to tell me to recant my statement, I said I'd think about it. So he took out his phone and drop called 911 three times to "get it over with and send himself to jail". Police showed up almost immediately and arrested him for breaching. As he was being hauled away he told me "GO RECANT YOUR STATEMENT" . I was wondering if this would be enough for them to charge him with obstruction of justice or witness intimidation. If I tried to recant my statement now, they likely would not let me due to him saying this in front of the police right? Please say yes?

Also, with your experience do you think he would be re-released given that he breached his orders to stay away only 6 days after being arrested initially? Would they typically give me a heads up if they do release him so I can stay somewhere else for the night?
