How bail works after a Gahanna arrest

When the Gahanna Division of Police (460 Rocky Fork Boulevard) makes an arrest, the person is typically transported to the Franklin County Corrections Center in downtown Columbus for booking, since Gahanna has no long-term jail of its own. What happens next depends on the charge. Minor violations of the Gahanna City Code of Ordinances are handled by the Gahanna Mayor's Court at City Hall. Most state-law misdemeanors are arraigned at the Franklin County Municipal Court, 375 South High Street, Columbus, where a judge sets or reviews bail. Felony cases bypass the lower courts and proceed to the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas after a preliminary hearing. Ohio law allows a surety bond, so a licensed bail bondsman posts the full bail amount in exchange for a state-standard 10% premium, securing release from the corrections center pending the next court date. Acting quickly after booking usually means a faster release before the first scheduled hearing.
