Bail Bonds for DUI Charges in Pasadena
Arrested in Pasadena on a DUI charge, or helping someone who was? Here is how bail generally works and where to get local answers.
About DUI Charges
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.
Pasadena Booking, Jail and Court
Arrests in Pasadena are made by Pasadena Police Department and, in some areas, LA County Sheriff — Temple 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 Pasadena Courthouse. For a DUI charge the first step is to get the inmate booking number and confirm the bail amount with the facility.
How Bail Is Set for DUI 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
Separate from the criminal case, the Department of Motor Vehicles may act on the driver's license, so ask an attorney about both tracks.
