Bail Bonds for Shoplifting Charges in Temecula
A shoplifting charge in Temecula brings questions about booking, bail and court. Start with the basics below.
About Shoplifting Charges
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.
Where Shoplifting Arrests in Temecula Go
Arrests in Temecula are made by Riverside County Sheriff — Temecula Station. Depending on the charge and the agency, a person may be held at Southwest Detention Center or Robert Presley Detention Center. Criminal cases from the area are heard at Southwest Justice Center (Murrieta Courthouse) and Riverside Hall of Justice. For a shoplifting charge the first step is to get the inmate booking number and confirm the bail amount with the facility.
Bail and Shoplifting 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.
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.
