Bail Bonds for Theft Charges in Arcadia
Arrested in Arcadia on a theft charge, or helping someone who was? Here is how bail generally works and where to get local answers.
What a Theft Charge Means
A theft charge generally involves taking another person's property without permission. 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. The value of the property and the person's record affect the amount.
Where Theft Arrests in Arcadia Go
Arrests in Arcadia are made by Arcadia 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 Alhambra Courthouse (serving Arcadia). For a theft charge the first step is to get the inmate booking number and confirm the bail amount with the facility.
Bail and Theft 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.
A Point to Raise With the Court or Attorney
Ask how the value of the property is being counted, since it can affect the level of the charge.
