Legal Question in Criminal Law in Indiana
Time Limitations on Summons
After an arrest for possession of marijuana, no charges were filed but my son was told that he would receive a summons for his court appearance. Is there a time limitation between the arrest and the receipt of the summons or is he supposed to wait forever?

Re: Time Limitations on Summons
Courts and prosecutors are often understaffed and overworked. If your son is a juvenile, he may have to wait months before a summons issues.
I wouldn't call the responsible authority to speed things up.
