How bail works in Clark County
After an arrest in Clark County, the person is booked into the Clark County Jail, operated by the Clark County Sheriff's Office at 120 North Fountain Avenue, Springfield, OH 45502 (jail/booking line 937-521-2050). After booking, the defendant appears for an arraignment where a judge sets the bond. Misdemeanor and traffic charges, plus the initial appearance on many felony charges, are handled by the Clark County Municipal Court (50 East Columbia Street, Springfield). For misdemeanors the court may use a published bond schedule, release on recognizance (OR/personal bond), or set a cash/surety bond. Felony cases begin in Municipal Court for the initial appearance and bond setting, then proceed through a preliminary hearing or grand jury indictment; if probable cause is found, the felony case is bound over to the Clark County Court of Common Pleas (101 North Limestone Street, Springfield), which has jurisdiction over felony criminal cases and where the trial judge can review or modify bond. Common bond types include personal recognizance, 10% cash, full cash, and surety (bail bond) bonds.
