The above photograph is a National Crime Information center record (“rap sheet”) indicating terry was twice arrested for possession of a handgun in Gulfport Mississippi. The deception here is it appears as if an arrest was made by the Gulfport police department on December 7, 2015, and an arrest was made by the Harrison county sheriff’s department on October 13, 2016. But the Gulfport police department is located in Harrison county. Another point is that the October 13, 2016 arrest does not have an “arrest case number”, indicating that there was no arrest made or there was no arrest report filed. The above charges have been pending since 2016. Under Mississippi law, a criminal indictment does not depend upon a defendant being in custody; an indictment can be returned against a fugitive from justice. In Mississippi, felony charges require a grand jury indictment. The law in Mississippi does not impose a specific time limit on how long the state can take to indict after an arrest, but prosecutors generally have two years from the date of the offense to formally commence prosecution.
