Re: criminal indictment
It means the case is going to be presented to the grand jury for possible indictment. The case is likely a felony filed via a complaint in a municipal court now. Municipal court has only very limited jurisdiction over felonies. Once an indictment is issued the case is then before the common pleas court.
