What happens to a person upon arrest?
Upon arrest a person is transported to the police station and placed in our holding cell. The person is “booked” which includes, obtaining their pedigree, photo and fingerprints. The officer will then determine if the person needs to be arraigned before a judge or released and given an appearance ticket to return to court at a later date. If arraigned by a judge and he orders bail, the bail for the arrested subject may be posted at the Orange County Jail in Goshen, N.Y. The total arrest and booking procedure may take from about one hour to several hours depending on the case and charges.
