Bail Bonds for Robbery Charges in Los Angeles
Arrested in Los Angeles on a robbery charge, or helping someone who was? Here is how bail generally works and where to get local answers.
About Robbery Charges
A robbery charge generally involves taking property from a person by force or fear. 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. This is a serious felony, and bail is generally high.
Los Angeles Booking, Jail and Court
Arrests in Los Angeles are made by the local police department or the county sheriff. People may be held at a Los Angeles County jail and cases are heard at a Los Angeles County courthouse. For a robbery charge the first step is to get the inmate booking number and confirm the bail amount with the facility.
How Bail Is Set for Robbery 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.
What Families Often Ask About
