Someone I know was arrested and taken to jail. What happens now?
A great deal depends on why they were arrested. If the charge is a misdemeanor, an arrestee will USUALLY be booked, cited and released. If intoxication is involved, they will need to sober up first. If the charge is a felony, or if the subject was picked up on a warrant, the subject will probably be held at least until they see a judge or post bail. You may contact the Facility to determine the bail amount for your inmate. The court will decide when the inmate sees a judge. The court can be reached at 209-966-5711.
