The form is usually filled out at the police station on the day of the arrest. The applicant must provide their name, address, date of birth, and other information about the arrest. The form is then reviewed by a prosecutor who will decide whether to issue a formal statement of charges. There are three types of Maryland Applications for Statement of Charges: standard, criminal, and juvenile. The standard form is used for most arrests, while the criminal and juvenile forms are used in specific cases involving minors or those with criminal histories.
