Questioned And Arrested For A Felony, Went To County Jail, Was Released The Same Day. No Paperwork, No Judge, And Just A Lot Of Questions
Location: Ohio
I have never dealt with any legal proceedings or criminal situations before so I am really lost. If any of this is basic or trivial, I apologize.
On Thursday, I had officers show up at my job and question me regarding the charges. After a couple hours, we went back to my apartment and after a little bit, I was put in handcuffs and taken to county jail. They never mentioned a lawyer or anything. I was processed and spent a couple hours in a cell before being released. The whole thing lasted about 12 hours from questioning to release. I never saw a judge, I never posted bond, I never received any paperwork. The only things I received were a copy of the search warrant at my job and the list of things that they were taking from my apartment. I have the warrant and two copies of the list, one that I signed and I'm assuming the one that was supposed to stay at my apartment.
I've been trying to figure out what to do and I'm just really lost and confused. I don't even know if I am supposed to go anywhere at some point. It's the weekend so I am trying to figure things out so I can look for a lawyer or at least find somewhere to ask questions officially. But I don't even know where to start.
What could have gotten me released without even signing anything or seeing a judge?
What do I need to bring to a lawyer regarding this?
Is there anything I am not thinking of that would make a difference in this situation that might change things?
