From the case docket sheet:

U.S. District Court Northern District of Indiana
USDC Northern Indiana (South Bend)
CRIMINAL DOCKET FOR CASE #: 3:09-cr-00080-RLM-1

07/16/2009      9       Arrest Warrant Returned Executed on 7/10/09 in case 
                        as to Ashton C Lundeby. (sdf) (Entered: 07/20/2009)

The arrest warrant is "scanned in," so doesn't lend itself to conversion to plaintext. It is dated July 9, 2009; one day after the indictment was handed down. On paper, he was arrested on July 10, two days after he was indicted.

As a formality, "arrest" and "detention" are separable items. I am still seeking, but have not found, formal details that pertain to his detention and relocation as a juvenile.

Poking this thread - as far as I know, Ashton Lundeby has yet to be subjected to trial. Trial was scheduled for March, 2010, and sometime back then I found a report saying the trial had been rescheduled.

Without going back through all my notes, etc., I recall having basically two questions about this case. What was the government's justification for relocation of the kid from North Carolina? How does the government surmount the "speedy trial" provisions in statutory and constitutional law?
