Understanding a Drug Trafficking Arrest

Arrests in Covina are made by Covina 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 Covina Courthouse. For a drug trafficking charge the first step is to get the inmate booking number and confirm the bail amount with the facility.
How Bail Is Set for Drug Trafficking Charges
