"Held to state probable cause" in a court of law means that a judge has determined there is sufficient evidence or reasonable grounds to believe that a crime may have been committed and that the defendant may be involved. This standard is typically applied during preliminary hearings or bail hearings, where the court assesses whether the evidence justifies further legal proceedings. It does not determine guilt or innocence but serves as a threshold for moving forward in the judicial process.
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. However, if charges are filed and the person is formally charged, they may be held longer based on the conditions of their bond or other legal proceedings.

The case that established this principle is United States v. Watson (1976). The Supreme Court held that an arrest without a warrant, made by law enforcement officers in a public place, is valid if they have probable cause to believe that a crime has been committed.
State Circuit Court
No it was not a supreme court case, but a state case because it was held in the local court
Depending on the operation of the court system in the jurisdiction where you were arrested, (i.e.: you were arrested on Friday night and the court is closed on Sat and Sun) it may be 24-48 hours before you are arraigned.
Probable cause is the level of evidence held by a rational and objective observer necessary to justify logically accusing a specific suspect of a particular crime based upon reliable objective facts. It is more than mere suspicion but sometiomes less than the amount of evidence required for conviction. See related link below;
The state court system deals with state laws; however, the federal court system may also hear cases involving state laws under certain conditions.
