but they had the warrent for his arrest. but even my mother had to wait 6 days to be arraigned for a charge

There is no hard rule for arraignments. Many people, including a lot of lawyers, believe there is a rule that requires it to happen in 48 or 72 hours or whatever, but that's not true. It has to be done "without unnecessary delay," which leaves it wide-open in my opinion. It should be quicker for him if he is lodged in the jail, as criminal cases take priority over civil.
