If this is your very first write up, it may be possible to have an administrative hearing. It depends on the county, and if it is your first dirty drop or not.
It is also possible community corrections file a violation with the court.

It depends on the county and the seriousness of the violation. Mycase.in.gov may state “hold then bond in the amount of…or “15 days hold then no bond hold.”

It might not be reflected on mycase.in.gov but a prosecutor is most likely assigned to the case, and you or your attorney know who that is. Sometimes prosecutors get reassigned to other cases or courts.

I read an article by Forbes magazine which claimed that indiana didn't have the ability to tell the difference between hemp and marijuana. Now if they can how easy is it? Would it take a long time and would it be costly to the state

I have a friend who was just made aware they have a misdemeanor arrest warrant in Hendricks County Indiana I'm trying to find out how long the sheriff waits to serve the warrant
