Indictment
The indictment is the formal accusation of felony offense(s) issued by the grand jury. The indictment essentially states that there is sufficient evidence that a felony offense(s) has been committed. The indictment results in a formal criminal complaint being issued against the defendant.
The indictment sets the felony criminal process in motion. Upon indictment and filing of the criminal complaint, an arrest warrant is generally issued for the defendant. Depending upon the nature and seriousness of the charges, the defendant may be able to arrange for surrender to the police and the posting of bail without the necessity of an arrest.
It is important to seek legal counsel immediately if you are aware of an indictment. Failure to take immediate action may result in unnecessary and possibly avoidable jail time.
