Bail Bonds for Weapons Charges Charges in Whittier
Arrested in Whittier on a weapons charge charge, or helping someone who was? Here is how bail generally works and where to get local answers.
Understanding a Weapons Charges Arrest
A weapons charge charge generally involves unlawful possession or use of a weapon. 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 type of weapon, any prior record and the circumstances matter.
Whittier Booking, Jail and Court
Arrests in Whittier are made by Whittier 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 Whittier Courthouse. For a weapons charge charge the first step is to get the inmate booking number and confirm the bail amount with the facility.
How Bail Is Set for Weapons Charges 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
Check with the attorney whether any prior record or a restraining order is involved, since either can change release.
