Bail Bonds for Drug Trafficking Charges in Palmdale
This page covers drug trafficking arrests in Palmdale: booking, bail, and what loved ones can do next.
Understanding a Drug Trafficking Arrest
A drug trafficking charge generally involves transporting or selling controlled substances. 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. These charges are serious and amounts can be high.
After a Drug Trafficking Arrest in Palmdale
Arrests in Palmdale are made by LA County Sheriff — Palmdale Station. 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 Michael D. Antonovich Antelope Valley Courthouse. For a drug trafficking charge the first step is to get the inmate booking number and confirm the bail amount with the facility.
Bail and Drug Trafficking 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.
A Point to Raise With the Court or Attorney
These cases can involve holds from other agencies, so ask the facility whether anything else is pending.
