Bail Bonds for Hit and Run Charges in Glendale

A hit and run charge in Glendale brings questions about booking, bail and court. Start with the basics below.

What a Hit and Run Charge Means

A hit and run charge generally involves leaving the scene of a collision. 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. Injuries or deaths raise the seriousness of the charge and the amount.

Where Hit and Run Arrests in Glendale Go

Arrests in Glendale are made by Glendale 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 Glendale Courthouse. For a hit and run charge the first step is to get the inmate booking number and confirm the bail amount with the facility.

How Bail Is Set for Hit and Run Charges

The first bail figure normally comes from the bail schedule. The judge can adjust it later, weighing the charge, any record and risk to the public. Bail agents have no say in the amount.

What Families Often Ask About

Ask whether anyone was injured. Injury can lead to added charges and a different bail figure.
