What happens after arrest?

When a person is arrested, a bond amount will normally be set which will be designed to assure that the arrestee will appear in court. Certain offenses may not be bondable depending on the circumstances. Also, if the person arrested is on probation or has multiple warrants pending, he/she may not be given a bond. If a person does not receive a bond when arrested, a lawyer can petition for a bond hearing in order to request a bond. If the bond a person receives is too much for the person to pay, a lawyer can petition for a bond-reduction hearing in order to request that the bond amount be lowered.
