Bail Bond Help in Ontario: Arrest to Court
A walk through the steps after an Ontario arrest, from booking to the first court date.
What Happens After an Arrest in Ontario
After an arrest the person is booked, and bail is set from the county schedule or by a judge. Arrests in Ontario are made by the local police department or the county sheriff. People may be held at a San Bernardino County jail and cases are heard at a San Bernardino County courthouse. The booking number and the person's full name and date of birth are what a bondsperson needs to look up the case.
Paying Bail in Ontario
Families usually choose between paying the full bail to the court and arranging a bond through an agent licensed in California. A bond uses a premium, which is not refunded, and a written agreement that spells out what the person who signs must do, including keeping every court date. Ask for every cost to be written down before you sign.
