How long can a person be held in county jail without a court date?

Mark A. Broughton
Answered by attorney Mark A. Broughton (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Mark A. Broughton, PC
That really depends on why he is in custody. If it is for new charges and he surrendered on the warrant, it depends on whether or not there are felony or misdemeanor charges pending. Normally, on new charges, he will be into court within 3 court days (business days) to be arraigned on those charges. But if he was on probation or parole and the warrant was for a violation the time requirements are much less defined. If he bonded out by posting bail he should not be in custody. On the other hand, most hold in probation/parole violation situations are for "no bail" which means he cannot bond out. So if he has a new case for which he posted bond, and he has a no-bail hold for a probation/parole case, you're wasting your money by trying to bail him out on the stated bail for the new case: he's not getting out. Best advice is to speak to his lawyer and if you don't have one consider getting one to assist you.

Typically only one person owns a backpack, so if you were in the backseat and not in close proximity to able to access the backpack and it was not yours, and you had no knowledge or control over the gun, the case can be made that you were not in possession. Of course this would have to be argued by your attorney after a thorough investigation.

Can they recharge you after a felony is dismissed?

Elizabeth B Carpenter
Answered by attorney Elizabeth B Carpenter (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Elizabeth B. Carpenter Law
Yes, you can be recharged provided 1) the statute of limitations for reinstituting the charges has not passed and 2) the charges are not barred by double jeopardy. Jeopardy commences when the jury is sworn in or in the case of a judge trial, the first witness is sworn in. If you are at risk of being recharged for the same offense, you must consult a lawyer.
