How bail works in Allen County
A person arrested in Allen County is booked into the Allen County Jail, operated by the Allen County Sheriff's Office at 333 N. Main St., Lima, OH 45801 (booking/bond information: 419-993-1407). After booking, the defendant appears for arraignment, where a judge sets bond. Misdemeanor and traffic charges, plus the initial appearance and bond setting for felonies, are handled by Lima Municipal Court (109 N. Union St., Lima, OH 45801). The judge may set a personal recognizance (own-recognizance) bond, a cash or surety (10%) bond, or hold without bond depending on the charge and risk. For felonies, the case proceeds through a preliminary hearing or grand jury indictment in the municipal court and is then bound over to the Allen County Court of Common Pleas (301 N. Main St., Lima), which has jurisdiction over felony criminal cases. Bond may be posted at any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for eligible inmates at window 3 in the Sheriff's Office lobby. Confirm the exact bond amount and accepted payment by calling 419-993-1407.
