Way to go! You solved my crime and arrested a suspect, now what happens?

We file charges against a suspect with the Portage County District Attorney’s Office. From there the judicial system takes over and the suspect has his day in court. Information regarding this procedure is available in the Victim of Crime pamphlet you should have received during the initial report of the incident.
