Bail Bonds for Carjacking Charges in Santa Ana
This page covers carjacking arrests in Santa Ana: booking, bail, and what loved ones can do next.
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.
Where Carjacking Arrests in Santa Ana Go
Arrests in Santa Ana are made by Santa Ana Police Department and, in some areas, OC Sheriff — Santa Ana Station. Depending on the charge and the agency, a person may be held at Orange County Central Jail Complex or Theo Lacy Facility. Criminal cases from the area are heard at Central Justice Center. For a carjacking charge the first step is to get the inmate booking number and confirm the bail amount with the facility.
Bail and Carjacking 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.
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.
