Bail Bonds for Carjacking Charges in Glendale
Arrested in Glendale on a carjacking charge, or helping someone who was? Here is how bail generally works and where to get local answers.
What a Carjacking Charge Means
A carjacking charge generally involves taking a vehicle from a person by force or fear. 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. This is generally charged as a serious felony and bail can be high or reviewed by a judge.
After a Carjacking Arrest in Glendale
Arrests in Glendale are made by Glendale 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 Glendale Courthouse. For a carjacking charge the first step is to get the inmate booking number and confirm the bail amount with the facility.
How Bail Is Set for Carjacking Charges
Bail for a charge like this usually comes from the county bail schedule at first. At a hearing a judge may raise, lower or keep that amount, and some charges must be reviewed by a judge before any release. The court sets bail, not the bondsperson.
Practical Tip for Families
Because release often needs a judge, ask the facility or the court when the next hearing is and whether bail has been set.
