Bail Bonds for Battery Charges in Arcadia
This page covers battery arrests in Arcadia: booking, bail, and what loved ones can do next.
Understanding a Battery Arrest
A battery charge generally involves unlawful physical contact with 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. The seriousness of any injury and the person's history can affect the amount.
Where Battery Arrests in Arcadia Go
Arrests in Arcadia are made by Arcadia 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 Alhambra Courthouse (serving Arcadia). For a battery charge the first step is to get the inmate booking number and confirm the bail amount with the facility.
Bail and Battery Charges
After booking, bail is usually taken from the county bail schedule, which lists an amount for each type of charge. The judge can change it at a hearing, taking into account the charge, the person's history and other factors. A bondsperson does not set the amount.
A Point to Raise With the Court or Attorney
Find out if the other person has asked for a protective order, and tell the person not to contact them unless the court allows it.
