How bail works in Butler County
After an arrest in Butler County, the person is booked into the Butler County Sheriff's Office Corrections Center at 705 Hanover Street, Hamilton, OH 45011 (Corrections Division: 513-785-1345), the county's primary booking jail. Following booking, a defendant has an initial appearance/arraignment, typically conducted by Video Initial Appearance (VIA) heard daily at the Area Courts in downtown Hamilton, where a judge or magistrate sets bond and gives a court date. Misdemeanor cases generally remain in the municipal/Area Court that has jurisdiction. For felonies, the defendant is entitled to a preliminary hearing (within 10 days if in custody, 15 if not) unless waived or unless a grand jury issues a direct indictment; if probable cause is found or the hearing is waived, the case is bound over to the Butler County Court of Common Pleas (General Division), the felony trial court, at 315 High Street, Hamilton. Bond may be set as own-recognizance (O.R.), cash, 10% cash, property, or surety/insurance bond.
