Bond Information
What is a Bail Bond?
A bail bond is a financial guarantee that a person will appear in court as required. Bail bonds are typically issued by a bail bondsman, who is a person or company that is licensed to sell bail bonds.
How Does Bail Work?
When a person is arrested, they are taken to jail and booked. The judge will then set a bail amount. If the person can afford to pay the bail amount, they will be released from jail until their trial date. If the person cannot afford to pay the bail amount, they can hire a bail bondsman to post bail for them.
How Much Does a Bail Bond Cost?
The cost of a bail bond is typically 10% of the bail amount. So, if the bail amount is $10,000, the cost of the bail bond will be $1,000.
How to Post a Bond in Burleigh County
To post a bond in Burleigh County, you can either pay the full bail amount to the court or hire a bail bondsman. If you are hiring a bail bondsman, you will need to pay the bail bondsman a fee, which is typically 10% of the bail amount.
Once the bail bond is posted, the person who was arrested will be released from jail. They will then be required to appear in court as required.
What Happens if I Miss a Court Date?
If you miss a court date, the court may issue a bench warrant for your arrest. A bench warrant is an order that authorizes law enforcement officers to arrest you and bring you to court.
If you are arrested on a bench warrant, you will be taken to jail and held until you can see a judge. The judge will then decide whether to release you on bail or keep you in jail until your trial.
