OHIO: In Ohio how long can a defendant be held in jail before a trial. What are the States guidelines for the amount of time before arraignment.After arraignment how long can a defendant be held in custody before a trial or a plea bargain. I am asking for basic information on the states obligations to move a case along in a timely manner. The defendant can not make bail.

There's no obligation for a plea bargain ever in any time frame.
The person in custody must be arraigned within 72 hours.
Unless the defendant does something to waive the time periods, the trial needs to commence:

30 days - minor misd.
45 days - 3rd or 4th degree misd.
90 days - 1st or 2nd misd.
275 days - felony
