Admitted in NY, FL and DC.
Defs are photographed, fingerprinted, etc. only after an arrest, (which did not happen) in cases such as this.
Arrest happens after SA gets a True Bill from a GJ or in some cases, files an “Information” based on SA’s own investigation or more often information from local LEOs.
(Of course, in case of a drunk driving or other such matter, the LEO witnessed the act, so an arrest can be made then.)
I don’t believe it ever reached that stage here. Local PD “asked for”/recommended a charging as above. SA has apparently declined to do so.
If so, SA usually has 180 days to reverse that decision, but effectively the case is DOA.
Thanks that obviously helps.
