What Happens After an Arrest?
For someone unfamiliar with bail bonds, the process can be easier to understand in a few steps.
Booking
The person is processed after the arrest and the charges are recorded.
Release Conditions Are Set
A judicial official determines the conditions for pretrial release. Depending on the case, that may include an unsecured bond, a secured bond, release to a designated custodian, or other conditions allowed by North Carolina law.
Confirm Whether a Bail Bond Can Be Used
If a secured bond has been set and a surety bond is an option, a licensed bail bond agent can explain what is required to move forward.
Complete the Bail Bond Process
Once the requirements and paperwork are completed, the bond can be posted. The detention facility controls the actual release process and timing.
