Bail Bonds for Shoplifting Charges in Pomona
Arrested in Pomona on a shoplifting charge, or helping someone who was? Here is how bail generally works and where to get local answers.
What a Shoplifting Charge Means
A shoplifting charge generally involves taking goods from a store without paying. 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. These are often misdemeanors, but the value and record matter.
After a Shoplifting Arrest in Pomona
Arrests in Pomona are made by Pomona 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 Pomona Courthouse. For a shoplifting charge the first step is to get the inmate booking number and confirm the bail amount with the facility.
How Bail Is Set for Shoplifting Charges
After booking, bail is usually taken from the county bail schedule, which lists an amount for each type of charge. The judge can change it at a hearing, taking into account the charge, the person's history and other factors. A bondsperson does not set the amount.
A Point to Raise With the Court or Attorney
Ask whether the store has asked for restitution, which the attorney may be able to address with the prosecutor.
