Arrested in Another State? Here's What You Need To Know
Bail Bonds, When You Need Them
When a loved one is arrested, it is always a stressful situation- but when they have been arrested in a state other than their home state, it can make things even more complicated. Although the defendant may be physically farther away from you, and that may feel scary, there are steps you can take to assist them in their situation. The team at Mike’s Bail Bonds is happy to help answer your questions and provide you with some useful information in this scenario.
What To Do When Your Loved One Is Across State Lines
If your loved one is being held in another state, you most likely want to get them out of jail and back home to you as soon as possible. With these tips, you can help make this process run a little bit smoother and hopefully make it go faster.
Don’t Waste Valuable Phone Call Time
Make sure you have the right information on where your loved one is being held and the charges against them, and get as much information as you can via phone. You’ll need to work with a professional bail bondsman in the state that your loved one is in, to ensure they are familiar with that particular area’s laws and legal processes.
Encourage Honesty With the Judge
It’s crucial for your loved one to be honest and upfront with the judge regarding the circumstances of the arrest and how they are from a different state. This may play a factor in the judge setting the bail amount, and will also prompt the judge to let the defendant know of any legal stipulations they might not be aware of. For example, for more serious crimes the judge may inform the accused that they cannot leave the state until their court date or else suffer further consequences. In order to not violate the bail agreement and avoid facing further charges, it’s important to give the judge a full understanding of the situation.
Be at Court, Be on Time
Your loved one absolutely needs to be at court and on time on the day of their trial. Adding a
failure to appear charge to their case will only hinder their ability to serve their punishment and get back home. Failing to appear in court can also prompt a visit from a
bounty hunter, further complicating matters.
