Depending on the state and the crime...24 to 72 hours...after that you must be charged or released.
Most states have a Statute Of Limitations during which charges can be filed against someone for certain types of crimes. Example, in Maryland you have a year and a day to bring or file charges against someone.

In Arkansas, a person can be held on a probable cause warrant for up to 48 hours without a hearing. If a hearing is not held within this timeframe, the individual must be released.

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).
