Arrest Report - Charges - Select Arrest Charge Dialog

The Select Arrest Charge dialog is used to select the statute associated with the crime the arrestee is being charged with. To access the dialog, click the + Add new charge button on the Charges page or the Statute field's Edit  button on the General section for an existing charge.  

Begin entering the name or description of a statute in the Search Statute or Description text box. As you type, the closest results display in a list below. Continuing to type automatically refines the results based on the information entered. The State, Local, County, and Federal buttons can also be used to filter the results by statute level. When enabled, the buttons display as blue with a white check mark  on the left. 

When the correct statue displays, select it.  The Select Arrest Charge dialog updates, displaying the crime codes associated with the selected statue. Select a crime code, then enter the number of counts the arrestee is being charged with for that statute in the Counts text box.

TIP: The Increase  and Decrease  buttons may also be used to change the count. 

After the correct number of counts are added, click the Next button. Depending on where the Select Arrest Charge dialog opened from, the following occurs:

• If you were adding a new charge to the arrest report, the Select Arrest Charge dialog closes, and the following sections display:

  • General section

  • Drug Information section

  • Court Information section

  • Bond Information section

• If you were editing an existing charge, the Select Arrest Charge dialog closes, returning you to the General section.
