How bail works in Guernsey County
A person arrested in Guernsey County is booked into the Guernsey County Jail, operated by the Guernsey County Sheriff's Office at 601 Southgate Parkway, Cambridge, OH 43725 (740-439-4455). After booking, the defendant is brought before a court for arraignment, where bond is set. Misdemeanor and traffic offenses, plus the initial appearance on felony charges, are generally handled by the Cambridge Municipal Court (150 Highland Avenue, Suite 1, Cambridge, OH 43725; 740-439-5585). Felony cases are bound over to the Guernsey County Court of Common Pleas after a preliminary hearing or grand jury indictment. At arraignment a judge sets the type and amount of bond based on the charge, prior record, and flight risk. Ohio courts commonly use a cash bond, a surety bond posted through a licensed bail bond agent, a property bond, or release on personal recognizance (own recognizance). For exact bond amounts and accepted payment methods, contact the relevant court or the Sheriff's Office, since these are set case-by-case.
