How bail works in Defiance County
A person arrested in Defiance County is processed by the Defiance County Sheriff's Office (113 Biede Avenue, Defiance, OH 43512; 419-784-1155) and housed at the Corrections Center of Northwest Ohio (CCNO), the regional jail in Stryker that serves Defiance County. After booking, the defendant is brought before a judge for arraignment, where the court sets bond. Most misdemeanor and traffic cases originate in Defiance Municipal Court (665 Perry Street, Defiance), which also handles initial appearances and bond on felony charges. Felony cases are presented to a grand jury and, once indicted, are bound over to the Defiance County Court of Common Pleas (221 Clinton Street, Defiance), which has jurisdiction over all felony criminal matters. A judge may set bond as a personal recognizance (own-recognizance) bond, an unsecured appearance bond, a cash or surety bond, or a 10% deposit bond, and may impose nonfinancial conditions. Bond amount and type depend on the charge, flight risk, and public safety considerations. Once bond is set, it can be posted to secure release pending further proceedings.
