Bail Bonds for Public Intoxication Charges in Alhambra
Arrested in Alhambra on a public intoxication charge, or helping someone who was? Here is how bail generally works and where to get local answers.
About Public Intoxication Charges
A public intoxication charge generally involves being drunk in public to the point of being unable to care for oneself. 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. Some people are released once sober.
Alhambra Booking, Jail and Court
Arrests in Alhambra are made by Alhambra 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 Alhambra Courthouse. For a public intoxication charge the first step is to get the inmate booking number and confirm the bail amount with the facility.
How Bail Is Set for Public Intoxication 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
Check with the facility whether the person may be released once sober, which sometimes happens without bail.
