(c) After the return of said property, the pawnbroker shall not be liable to any private person or government entity for any further claims on the returned property. Law enforcement shall provide all information related to such persons involved in the investigation to the pawnbroker, including the investigative report, without the need for a subpoena, court order, or further legal action of government filing. The hold order shall expire on the 120th day after it is issued, at which time the pawnbroker may exercise its rights under any applicable pawn ticket or extension. If the law enforcement officer has not completed the criminal investigation within 120 days after the issuance of the hold order, the officer shall immediately return any property in law enforcement custody to the pawnbroker or obtain and furnish to the pawnbroker a warrant for a maximum 120-day hold order extension and, as applicable, continued law enforcement custody of the property. The pawnbroker shall not release or dispose of the property, except pursuant to a court order or the expiration of the holding period of the hold order, including all extensions.
In cases where criminal charges have been filed and the property may be needed as evidence, the prosecuting attorney shall notify the pawnbroker in writing. The notice shall contain the case number, the style of the case, and a description of the property. The pawnbroker shall hold the property until receiving notice of the disposition of the case from the prosecuting attorney. The prosecuting attorney shall notify the pawnbroker and claimant in writing within 15 days after the disposition of the case.
