that the time period for an arrest is dwindling down. Apparently it was stated that you have 175 days to make an arrest after detainment. I didn't say that he was arrested. Therefore, the clock IS winding down if he was detained back in February. We have 175 since that date to arrest him.

I was aware that charges can come at any time as well.
