Bail Bonds for Assault Charges in Pasadena
An assault charge in Pasadena brings questions about booking, bail and court. Start with the basics below.
Understanding a Assault Arrest
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 Pasadena
Arrests in Pasadena are made by Pasadena Police Department and, in some areas, LA County Sheriff — Temple Station. 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 Pasadena Courthouse. For an assault charge the first step is to get the inmate booking number and confirm the bail amount with the facility.
Bail and Assault Charges
Most people first see a bail figure taken from a schedule of standard amounts. Later, at a hearing, a judge may keep, raise or lower it. The judge looks at the charge, the person's record and whether the person is likely to return to court.
A Point to Raise With the Court or Attorney
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.
