The district attorney will petition a judge to issue a
warrant for your arrest
upon the filing of charges. The judge will grant the warrant if the court
determines probable cause justifies it. The warrant will be directed to the
county sheriff, and law enforcement will arrest you.
You can be arrested without charges being filed if law enforcement
reasonably believes you committed a felony. When you are arrested, law
enforcement is required to advise you of your
Miranda rights
before questioning you.
