If a friend or loved one has been arrested, taken into custody, and is in need of Santa Clarita bail bonds for battery charges, then give us a call and we can help you right away.
When someone is arrested in Santa Clarita, they’re taken to the Santa Clarita Sheriff Station to undergo booking and processing. Once that procedure is complete, bail will be set and it will be possible to obtain their release via bail bond. For felony battery charges, bail will be set at $50,000 per the Los Angeles County Bail Schedule. Once bail has been set, it’s important to get in touch with a bail bondsman as soon as possible as the on-site jail at the Santa Clarita Sheriff Station is designed for the short-term housing of about 40 inmates. If an inmate remains at that location for longer than 72 hours, or if the jail gets overcrowded, inmates will be transferred to much larger, much busier jails in downtown Los Angeles. Men are typically transferred to Twin Towers Jail, while women are sent to the Lynwood Jail. Once transfer occurs, it will take anywhere from 12 to 24 hours to complete, during which time the inmate will be ineligible for bail. If the bail bond process is begun while the defendant is still located at the SCV Sheriff Station, it is possible to avoid the transfer process altogether.
To get your friend or loved one out of jail as fast as possible, give us a call and provide us with their name, birth date and the date and time of their arrest. We will use that information to locate them within the system and verify their eligibility for bail. Once that’s been established, we have you fill out our short, simple bail bond application forms and sign the indemnitor’s agreement. Last, we send someone to the jail to post the bond and your friend or loved one will be released a short time later.
Our office is located right across the street from the Sheriff Station, and we pride ourselves on our ability to get people out of jail as fast as possible. We can be reached 24 hours a day at 661-299-2663.
