When a writ of arrest is issued upon an indictment, the clerk issuing the writ shall endorse on the writ an order to the sheriff to take bail of the defendant in the amount fixed by the judge and endorsed by him or her on the indictment, unless the defendant is charged with an offense for which bail may be denied pursuant to Section 15-13-3. In that case, the writ of arrest shall indicate “no bail,” and the defendant may not be released prior to an initial appearance.
