Victor Puertas was arrested at the South River Music Festival in DeKalb County, GA on March 5. He has been behind bars ever since.

In most states, prosecutors have up to 72 hours to bring charges. But certain states, including California, give prosecutors only 48 hours before they must file charges or release the suspect.
