If you have questions regarding how to obtain a Santa Clarita bail bond when arrested for assault, then read on. Assault is an interesting charge, because its definition allows it to be pressed in a number of circumstances, often surprising the defendant. Under California Penal Code 240 PC, assault is described as willfully committing an act that could result in the application of force on someone else. The law does not require that you actually make contact with another person to be charged with assault (doing so would likely be charged as battery), nor does it require that you intend to make contact with another person. Simply performing an act that could result in the application of force to another person (trying to slap, push, throw something, etc.) is enough.
When brought up on assault charges in Santa Clarita or any of the surrounding areas, defendants will be brought to the Santa Clarita Sheriff Station to undergo booking and processing. Bail will be set for eligible individuals only after booking and processing has been completed. Whether bail has already been set or not, you can still begin the bail bond application process.
It begins by giving us a call or heading into our office (conveniently located just across the street from the jail) and providing the name, birth date and the date and time of arrest of the person you want to bail out of jail. We will then have you fill out our bail bond application forms and sign the indemnitor’s agreement. All of our forms are straightforward and to the point, but if you have any questions, we’re always happy to explain things to you step-by-step. Last, we send an agent to the jail to post the bond and your friend or loved one will be released once they have been processed out.
Our agents can post bonds at the Santa Clarita Sheriff Station jail any time of day or night, on weekends and on holidays. Our goal is to get your friend or loved one out of jail as quickly as possible, and our 24-hour service allows us to do just that.
