A more thorough explanation:
A LARGE
A legal term that means free or at large.
For example, if a criminal is released from prison and is no longer under any restrictions, they are considered to be "at large."
Another example would be if a person is granted bail and is allowed to leave jail until their trial, they are also considered to be "at large."
