The Judge will accept the following types of bonds in order to be release a person from jail.

 

Cash Bond

 

A cash bond is usually for the amount equal to the fine plus $65 in additional fees. This money must be paid in the form of cash, cashiers check, or money order. You will receive a receipt for your payment and a copy of the bond, which will indicate a court date.

 

You will be requested to enter into a plea of "Nolo Contendere" or "No Contest." By entering into this plea, you are giving the Judge permission to take the bond money and apply it to the fine in event you do not appear on your court date. After your hearing, the judge will allow you credit for time spent in jail and order the Clerks’ office to process any refund amount due. NOTE: You are not required to enter into the above plea. You have right to appear in court and request any available option you wish for disposing of the charge.

 

A local bondsman or an attorney usually provides this bond. Upon payment of sum set by the surety, they could give a bond for your release. In this situation, you will receive a copy of the bond and a court date.

 

The Judge may authorize the release of an individual from jail on a "Personal Recognizance Bond" based on the nature and circumstances of the offense charged, employment, financial resources, character, mental condition, record of convictions, etc. A release on recognizance is a condition under which an individual is released in lieu of bail, i.e., upon his promise to appear and respond to a criminal charge against him or her. Upon release on a personal bond, you will receive a copy of the bond and a court date.
