Answer
Indictment is a little different from being arrested "on the spot". A Grand Jury usually will hand down an indictment, where you will later have to appear for formal booking at the police station, unless they come and arrest you. In either case, you would then appear before a Judge for a preliminary hearing, where you could plead guilty, if you wish, but the proceedings generally go through the evidence they have against a person being chaged in the indictment, or at least enough evidence to convince the presiding judge to bind the case over for trial. Also, bail should be set where it is allowable.
