How bail works after a Avon Lake arrest

When Avon Lake Police make an arrest in the city, the person is typically booked at the Avon Lake Police Department on Walker Road, then transported to the Lorain County Jail in Elyria, the county's central detention facility. Misdemeanor and city-ordinance charges, along with traffic offenses, are arraigned at the Avon Lake Municipal Court, which has its OWN jurisdiction covering Avon Lake, Avon, and Sheffield Village. At arraignment a judge sets bail, which may be own-recognizance release, a cash or surety bond, or a 10% deposit bond. Felony charges are bound over to the Lorain County Court of Common Pleas in Elyria, where a Common Pleas judge handles the bail decision and later proceedings. If a surety (bail) bond is used, Ohio caps the bail agent's premium at 10% of the bond amount, which is fully earned and non-refundable. A licensed Ohio bail bondsman can post at the Lorain County Jail once a bond is set. Because Avon Lake runs its own municipal court, local misdemeanor cases stay in the city rather than going to a regional court.
