What Happens After an Arrest?
If you have never dealt with a bail bond before, the process can be understood in four simple steps.
Booking
The person’s information and charges are recorded after the arrest.
Release Conditions Are Set
A judicial official determines the conditions of pretrial release. Depending on the case, that may include an unsecured bond, release to a designated custodian, a secured bond, 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 agent can explain what is required.
Complete the Bail Bond Process
Once the required paperwork and arrangements are complete, the bond can be posted at the appropriate facility. The detention facility controls the actual release process and timing.
Arrested in Williamston or Another Martin County Community?

If the arrest occurred in Williamston, Robersonville, Jamesville, Oak City, Hamilton, or another part of the county, do not assume the person is being held near the arrest location.
