hrs. (3days) to press charges? But if you threaten somebody and "socalled" under investigation for calling somebody's work and say your gonna beat the "f" outta him how long do cop's have to arrest you. thanks.
The 72 hours is the maximum time you can be held without charges. Once you are released, charges can be filed at any time, or you could be arrested at any time, right up until the statute of limitations expires.
