Green sheets are the copy of the complaint given to a defendant. Green sheets are the very beginning of the arrest cycle. Indictment means it has already been presented to a Grand Jury.
Not sure wht this has to do with sealed Indictments. Someone filed charges for ?. Charge was processed but not served on the suspect. When they were physically located the charges were issued and they were taken into custody. They would be given the “green sheets: if they are available. Rights do not have to be read unless the subject is being formally questioned.

Thanks for the explanation. I just made up the sealed or secret indictment as a hypothesis, and it seems from what I read, if that’s what it was, they would not have had to inform her what the charge was, just issue an arrest warrant which the deputy served, and he did say she would “get all her papers” when she got to jail. The idea of a secret indictment is that the person does not know they are the subject of the grand jury hearing and the file remains sealed until after they are arrested. If this hypothesis is true then the charges should be made public before long. I read that she would be held in jail until a hearing on Monday so that’s probably when bond would be set, etc. and the charges would have to be made public by then at least.
