    INDIANAPOLIS (FOX59) — Revelations that Marion County Sheriff’s Deputies dealt with an alleged seizure of a cell block and an expected ambush at the adult detention center twice in the past week. You have Republicans at the local and state levels calling for a staffing review and operations at the new county jail and for the governor to consider bringing in state agencies, including the Indiana National Guard, to assist the sheriff.

    As FOX59 News exclusively reported, more than two dozen Marion County judges took part in a virtual conference call with Sheriff Kerry Forestal and his command staff last week as presiding judge Amy Jones described the prison’s security situation as a “powder keg ready to launch,” and warned Deputy Prison Commander Tanesha Crear, “I just don’t know how any of us would feel if we got a call that an officer was killed. That’s where we are.”

    What happens after a case number was generated for your case?

    Once your information has been attached to a pending case number or “MC” case number, it will appear before a judge, commissioner or magistrate in the APC. This judge will review the information to determine if there was a probable cause for your arrest. If no probable cause is found, you will likely be discharged, which can take anywhere from twelve to twenty-four hours. If probable cause is found, the judge will set an appropriate bail based on the information in the probable cause affidavit, your criminal history, and a bail matrix. After this brief initial hearing, you will be sent back to the APC’s holding cell and eventually taken to jail where you will await your first hearing in your assigned court.

    Sometimes the prosecutor will request seventy-two hours from the time of your hearing with the APC judge to conduct further investigation and present the actual charges. The seventy-two hours do not include Saturdays, Sundays or public holidays. These final counts will determine which Supreme Court will hear your case. Please note that the prosecutor may amend these charges by adding more offenses while your case is pending.
