Santa Clarita Bail Bonds for Identity Theft Charges

Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in the US, and it tends to spike during the holiday season. It’s covered under California Penal Code 530.5 PC and is broadly defined as the taking of another person’s identifying information and using it in a fraudulent or unlawful manner. With such a broad definition, it’s not difficult to find oneself charged with violating PC 530.5. If someone you know has been arrested and charged with identity theft, it’s possible to quickly obtain Santa Clarita bail bonds for identity theft charges.

When someone is arrested and charged with identity theft, they’re taken to the Santa Clarita Sheriff Station where they undergo booking and processing. Penal Code 530.5 PC is a “wobbler,” meaning it can be charged as either a misdemeanor or a felony. For misdemeanor charges, bail is set at around $5,000. For felony charges, bail is set at $50,000 pursuant to the Los Angeles County Bail Schedule.
