About Stalking Charges
A stalking charge generally involves repeated following or harassing that causes 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. Courts commonly add no-contact orders.
After a Stalking Arrest in Costa Mesa
Arrests in Costa Mesa are made by Costa Mesa Police Department. Depending on the charge and the agency, a person may be held at Theo Lacy Facility or James A. Musick Facility. Criminal cases from the area are heard at Harbour Justice Center and Central Justice Center. For a stalking charge the first step is to get the inmate booking number and confirm the bail amount with the facility.
Bail and Stalking 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.
Practical Tip for Families
Expect no-contact orders and ask the court which locations or contact methods are covered.
