except when the prosecuting attorney of the county is the officer
accused, who must cause a copy thereof to be served upon the
defendant, and require, by notice in writing of not less than ten (10)
days, that the defendant appear before the circuit court or superior
court of the county at the time mentioned in the notice, and answer the
accusation. The original accusation must then be filed with the clerk of
the court, or if the clerk of the court is the party accused, with the judge
of the court.
