book and release
i have never been arrested and the D.A. filed charges as a misdemeanor 3 months later, i set my arraignment date so can i still be arrested? will i have to book and release even though they didn't initially?

Re: book and release
You will likely be asked to book and release without any arrest. However, they will hold you if the DA set bail. Call the court to find out if there is bail. If there is bail, make sure to have arrangement with a bondsman so that he can be there in court to bail you out on the spot. You will also have the opportunity to argue for no bail release. Purpose of bail is to ensure your presence in court. If you show up, that is proof you will not attempt to take off and the judge might release you on own recognizance.
Best of luck.
