How bail works in Highland County
A person arrested in Highland County is booked at the Highland County Jail, operated by the Highland County Sheriff's Office at 130 Homestead Drive, Hillsboro, OH 45133 (Sheriff 937-393-1421; jail 937-840-6240). After booking, the defendant is brought before a court for arraignment, where a judge sets bond. Most arraignments and bond-setting for offenses occurring in Highland County happen in the Hillsboro Municipal Court (130 Homestead Avenue, Hillsboro), which handles misdemeanors and the initial stages of felony cases for the county (except Madison Township, served by the county court). At arraignment the court advises the defendant of the charges and sets conditions of release, which may include a personal recognizance (OR) bond, an unsecured appearance bond, or a cash/surety bond, often per a bond schedule. Misdemeanor cases are resolved in the municipal court. Felony cases proceed through a preliminary hearing or grand jury indictment; if probable cause is found or an indictment is returned, the case is bound over to the Highland County Court of Common Pleas (General Division) at 105 North High Street, Hillsboro, where bond may be reviewed or modified. Bond can typically be posted at the jail or through a licensed surety; confirm methods and amounts directly with the court or jail.
