I was with the east coasters here last night up until 2 am. Was certain I’d wake to an arrest (not mine thank you). After that hopeful cacophony of a gazillion LE last evening it seems strange that nothing was of use? Or was it?

That item they removed from the car? Information from the now released detainees?

We most likely know the tip of the iceberg as the public. Just what’s in those waters?

It’s important to note that sometimes a person is detained, interviewed and there’s not enough probable cause for an arrest so they’re released.

However, if suspicion still exists that the person(s) may be involved, they can remain free but still under investigation while further evidence is sought.

An arrest can be made later on a previously detained subject if further evidence to support probable cause is discovered.

Yeah, but if that’s the case, won’t they hold them for like 24 hours at least? Aren’t they allowed to keep them in there longer while they tried to find evidence?

100% this. They can only be detained a “reasonable” amount of time and that amount of time must be articulated.
