In Fayette County, Ohio, a person arrested is booked into the Fayette County Jail, operated by the Fayette County Sheriff's Office at 1500 Robinson Road SE, Washington Court House, OH 43160 (booking 740-333-3783). After booking, the defendant is brought before a judge for arraignment, where the charges are read and bond is set. Misdemeanor and traffic offenses are arraigned in the Washington Court House Municipal Court (119 N Main Street), which holds arraignments on Wednesdays at 9:30 A.M. Felony cases originate in the Municipal Court for an initial appearance and bond, then proceed by preliminary hearing or grand jury indictment and are bound over to the Fayette County Court of Common Pleas (110 E Court Street). The judge may set bond as a personal recognizance (OR) release, a cash bond, a surety (bail bond) posted through a licensed bondsman, or a 10% cash deposit bond, and may impose conditions. Bond amount depends on the offense severity, criminal history, and flight risk. Posting the required bond secures pretrial release pending the next court date.
