Sentencing
Appeal
Probation
Parole
Prison or jail incarceration
so which option is it
Based on the information provided, the next step after there is enough evidence to suggest that someone has committed a crime serious enough to be taken into custody (police detention) would typically be the arrest of the individual. This would be followed by the booking process, initial appearance before a judge, and then the arraignment where the formal charges would be presented to the defendant. Plea bargaining may also occur at some point in the legal process, depending on the specifics of the case.
