Legal Question in Criminal Law in Louisiana
My nephew was arrested Saturday night 2/13/2011 in New Orleans, La. for a headlight not working and then they found marijuana in the vehicle. They still have not set a bail hearing or an arraignment. How long can they hold him without setting bail or a hearing?

There must be a bond hearing within 72 hours. Sometimes they do them via video from jail.
