The grand jury clause of the Fifth Amendment has not been extended to the states. It only applies to federal felonies (”infamous crime”), where the accused does not waive their right.

States have their own rules about this, and I don’t know what the state law says in this case. But since their was no grand jury I would assume it’s not required and that there will be an arraignment.
