The statute of limitations in criminal law applies to the date of the criminal incident not to the formal listing of charges which is called an indictment. Sometimes a person is indicted and then parts of the indictment are dismissed for statue of limitations problems while other charges remain. Sometimes the entire indictment will be dismissed for statue of limitation problems. Statue of limitation problems in criminal law are case specific and can be quite technical. If you expect to be indicted, you are going to have to have an attorney examine the issues.
The police do not file indictments. They apply for and/or receive the warrant, arrest you, and present you to the prosecutor and court - usually, by law, within 72 hours after arrest. After that it becomes the courts responsbility to move the case forward.
This may just be State 2 State, but I believe if you bail out, you give up your right to a speedy trial. You may want to check your jurisdiction for that. Life is reserved for murder and everything alse has a statute of Limitations.
They have until their investigation discloses enough probable cause to make the arrest. There is no statutory time limit on making an arrest.
No, it may not be over. If the police are conducting an investigation and gathering evidence and it implicates you, they can arrest you at a later time.

The time it takes to be indicted in WV purely depends on the time it takes for the investigation to be completed or if a jury finds sufficient cause to procede with an indictment against a person. During that time it is advisable to seek counsel, if allowed, and get all the necessary documents to plead your case.
There is no time limit. However, you are legally married until you obtain a legal divorce.
"Any information or indictment charging an individual with the commission of an offense shall be filed within thirty days from the date on which such individual was arrested or served with a summons in connection with such charges. If an individual has been charged with a felony in a district in which no grand jury has been in session during such thirty-day period, the period of time for filing of the indictment shall be extended an additional thirty days."

There is no actual hourly time limit set by statute or court ruling that I am aware of. But, "without undue delay" seems to be the accepted standard.
No. Since you are still "free" and un-arrested, and no indictment has been handed down, there is no limit on the time they may take to consider your case.
there is no time limit. it acctually works in favor of the person under arrest, but if you are under arrest and try to delay this prcess it is considered to be a refusal and you will lose your drivers license.
If there is a warrant issued, it stays open until resolved/you are arrested. Arrest warrants do not have time limit.
