Bail Bonds for Carjacking Charges in Monrovia
A carjacking charge in Monrovia brings questions about booking, bail and court. Start with the basics below.
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 Monrovia
Arrests in Monrovia are made by the local police department or the county sheriff. People may be held at a Los Angeles County jail and cases are heard at a Los Angeles County 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
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.
What Families Often Ask About
Because release often needs a judge, ask the facility or the court when the next hearing is and whether bail has been set.
