Bail Bonds for Assault Charges in Torrance
An assault charge in Torrance brings questions about booking, bail and court. Start with the basics below.
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.
Torrance Booking, Jail and Court
Arrests in Torrance are made by Torrance 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 Torrance 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
When a person is booked, jail staff match the charge to the county bail schedule. Only a judge is able to change that number, and some charges must be heard by a judge before release is possible. The agent who writes a bond has no control over it.
What Families Often Ask About
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.
