Bail Bonds for DUI Charges in Norwalk
This page covers DUI arrests in Norwalk: booking, bail, and what loved ones can do next.
What a DUI Charge Means
A DUI charge generally involves driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. 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. Prior offenses and any injury to others can affect the amount. License issues proceed separately.
Norwalk Booking, Jail and Court
Arrests in Norwalk are made by LA County Sheriff — Norwalk 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 Norwalk Courthouse. For a DUI charge the first step is to get the inmate booking number and confirm the bail amount with the facility.
Bail and DUI Charges
When a person is booked, jail staff match the charge to the county bail schedule. Only a judge is able to change that number, and some charges must be heard by a judge before release is possible. The agent who writes a bond has no control over it.
A Point to Raise With the Court or Attorney
Separate from the criminal case, the Department of Motor Vehicles may act on the driver's license, so ask an attorney about both tracks.
