Bail Bonds for Assault Charges in Long Beach
This page covers assault arrests in Long Beach: booking, bail, and what loved ones can do next.
What a Assault Charge Means
An assault charge generally involves an attempt or threat to injure another person. The exact charge, and whether it is treated as a misdemeanor or a felony, varies with the facts and is decided by prosecutors and the court. Whether it was a misdemeanor or felony, and whether a weapon or injury was involved, affects the amount.
After a Assault Arrest in Long Beach
Arrests in Long Beach are made by Long Beach Police Department. Depending on the charge and the agency, a person may be held at Men's Central Jail or Twin Towers Correctional Facility. Criminal cases from the area are heard at Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center and Long Beach Courthouse. For an assault charge the first step is to get the inmate booking number and confirm the bail amount with the facility.
How Bail Is Set for Assault Charges
The first bail figure normally comes from the bail schedule. The judge can adjust it later, weighing the charge, any record and risk to the public. Bail agents have no say in the amount.
Practical Tip for Families
Check with the facility whether a protective or no-contact order has been requested, because it can limit where the person may stay after release.
