how long can you be held without being indicted?

An investigation may run for years, and an indictment would not be filed until the investigation completes. The 'clock' on your right to a speedy trial does not begin until after you have been arrested. There are time limits, however, in which charges may be filed (statutes of limitations). These limits depend on the state in which they occurred and the nature of the offense (there is no statute of limitations on murder, however).

Individuals do not and cannot file criminal charges. Only a state or federal prosecutor can file charges. However you can make report to police about the alleged criminal act. The sooner the better, the longer you take to report it the more difficult the investigation becomes, and the more doubt is actually cast on you as to why you held off reporting it for so long.

Is there a statute of limitation on misdemeanor charges?

The question is either missing some information or the questioner is not phrasing the question properly. If charges have "been filed" then you have been "charged." You may not have been located to be arrested yet, but you are still charged if they were filed. (???)


Can someone be held on a parole hold if there are no charges?

Yes. If the person was on parole at the time they were taken into custody by authorities he or she can be detained until it is decided if they have violated the terms of their parole or probation. Typically, a parole hold can only be enforced for a limited amount of time. Some states permit no more than thirty days without new criminal charges, some permit as long as ninety days, with or without new criminal charges.
