Depending on the state, they have a certain amount of time to get him before the judge for an arraignment. Where the charges are made clear to him. If he can't afford an attorney, it is at that time, that he needs to ask for one. If he can - you need to help him get one to get the ball rolling now. When he pleads, there may be a hearing regarding bail. Depending on the evidence the state has against him now, will determine the amount of money the bond will have to be.

If he was arrested on Sunday, he should be arraigned by tomorrow at the latest. At the arraignment, he can enter a plea of not guilty and request a court appointed lawyer, if he cannot afford one. If he can afford one, you should be calling around and finding one for him.
He can request bail. When bail is set, you may be able to get a bail bond to have him released so he can go back to work while he is preparing for trial.
The state has to prove its case, but they don't have to take DNA or give him a lie detector test. A lie detector test isn't admissible in court anyway. The state will do those things it needs to do to prove the case. If they discover something that clears him, they must tell his defense lawyer about it. But they don't have to go looking for things to clear him.
Most important thing now--get him some kind of lawyer to get things moving.

Investigation will be conducted after the arrest and when there is probable cause that a crime was committed, a criminal case will be filed in court.
