There is no such thing as mixing civil and criminal actions in the same court action. If criminal charges arise as a result of a civil case action they will be charged and prosecuted seperately from the civil trial.

Is there a time limit in the state of NV for how long after a civil complaint is made that police can arrest you in?

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.

How do you file trespass charges?

"Charges" usually means criminal matters as opposed to civil matters. Go to your local police station and swear out a complaint charging the other person with tresspass. A policeman will help you with the paperwork. For civil trespass, you have to prepare an appropriate complaint according to the local court rules, file it with the court then serve it with a summons on the other person. A civil court worker probably will not help you prepare civil papers unless it is a small claims court. But every court is different, so check with yours.
