In Nevada, there is no specific time limit for police to arrest someone after a civil complaint is filed, as civil complaints do not directly lead to criminal charges or arrests. However, if the civil complaint involves allegations of criminal behavior, law enforcement can investigate and make an arrest based on the findings. Generally, for criminal cases, the statute of limitations varies depending on the nature of the crime. For specific legal situations, it is advisable to consult with a legal professional.
