Legal Question in Criminal Law in Maryland

Process time for being charged

My brother was arrested and held for over 72 hours before being charged. Is this legal. I was told that in MD the police have 72 to charge you. He did have an outstanding warrant, but he was arrested while in the hospital on a Saturday and charged and removed from the hospital on a Wednesday
