Yes criminal charges. However, that seems like a very tiny bail for what she allegedly did.

Dookhan was arrested by State Police yesterday morning at her home in Franklin, Massachusetts, but is expected to post her $10,000 bail by the end of the week. Once free on bail, she must turn over her passport and wear a GPS monitoring device.
