Are you looking for information regarding assault charge bail bonds in Santa Clarita?
According to California Penal Code 240 PC, assault charges can be filed against anyone who willfully did something that was likely to result in the use of force against someone else. That definition covers a pretty broad range of actions and circumstances. Interestingly, the legal definition of the law doesn’t require that an individual actually make contact with their intended target, it simply requires that they take an action that could result in making contact with someone. For example, if two individuals were to get into an argument on a golf course, and one of them throws a punch at the other, the individual who threw the punch could be charged with assault even if he didn’t connect.
With California’s assault law having such a broad definition, arrests involving assault charges aren’t all that uncommon; though they can often be unexpected.
When someone is arrested under suspicion of assault in Santa Clarita, they’re taken to the Santa Clarita Sheriff Station to undergo booking and processing. This procedure is likely one that you’ve seen on tv or in movies, and it involves taking the arrestee’s photographs, recording their fingerprints and conducting a national background check. From start to finish, booking and processing can take anywhere from 45-minutes to a few hours; it all depends on how busy the station is at the time the individual is arrested.
Once the individual has finished going through booking and processing, bail will be set and it will then be possible to obtain their release via bail bond. According to the Los Angeles County 2016 bail schedule, bail for assault charges will be set at about $20,000.
