Legal Question in Criminal Law in Ohio

a 48 hour incarceration without a charge

I was arrested for a theft and was held in the county jail for 51 hours without an official charge. I was released, my question is can the charge resurface and a warrant be issued without me being notified, how do I go about finding out if the case was totally dismissed. The law here told me they could only hold me for 48 hours. I have a feeling there might be more to it than how it has ended.

Re: a 48 hour incarceration without a charge

In order to find out if charges were filed you need to check with the clerk of the municipal court in which the police department is located.

Yes a charge can resurface without you being notified. It is wise to check it out.
