Best Answer

In the USA a prosecutor in the county where the crime took place will issue the charge in State Court. If it is an ordinance charge (less than a misdemeanor) such as for a peace disturbance then that is usually handled in the city or town municipal court. Federal charges are prosecuted by a federal prosecutor in the Federal District where the crime took place.
