It depends on the charges and the bond. They can hold you for a number of reasons without an "out date", citing "material witness", "pending new charges", "magistrate hold", "jurisdictional detainer" or a myriad of legal options they can use. Without us knowing what the original charge was, it is difficult to pin down the reason for certain.
