    Randell Wilkerson has been incarcerated for over 100 days without being formally charged by bill of indictment or information, which violates Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure Article 701(B) that requires formal charges within 60 days for felony cases where the defendant remains incarcerated. Wilkerson was arrested on October 22, 2007 and charged with possession with intent to distribute cocaine and MDMA, and bail was set at $45,000, which he has been unable to post. Wilkerson is moving for his release from bond obligation and custody due to the state's failure to comply with the 60 day timeline to formally charge him. A hearing on this motion is scheduled.
