A person can be held in custody for up to 40 days without having charges filed. He should do a motion for release on on recognizance after 33 days. The Judge can give state another 7 days to file charges at that point. If the state does not file he should be releases without the need for bond. Otherwise, if he currently has no bond he can request a bond hearing if he doesn't want to wait the 40 days.
