Something is rotten in Denmark.
You claim a warrant appeared later, so I need to ask; were you arrested on a warrant or not?
If arrested with a warrant I have never seen a state permit more than 72 hours for an arraignment/probable cause hearing, IF still held in custody.
If you were arrested "without a warrant" the law states you must be afforded an arraingment/probable cause hearing within 48 hours, weekends notwithstanding. If there was an extension beyond this, good cause must be shown.
(b) In order to satisfy Gerstein's promptness requirement, a jurisdiction that chooses to combine probable cause determinations with other pretrial proceedings must do so as soon as is reasonably feasible, but in no event later than 48 hours after arrest.

If memory serves me correctly, they also ruled in a seperate case that a technical violation of this is not necessarily remedial by a lawsuit and damages? I would have to look further.
Could you make bail or not. Was it a felony charge?
