After arraignment at Holmes County Court of Common Pleas

In Holmes County, the initial arraignment and the first bond determination for most arrests take place in the Holmes County Municipal Court (1 E. Jackson St., Millersburg, OH 44654; 330-674-4901), which handles misdemeanors and the initial appearance in felony matters. At arraignment, the judge advises the defendant of the charges and sets bond, considering the seriousness of the offense, prior record, and flight risk; the judge may order a personal recognizance, cash, or surety bond. Felony cases do not remain in Municipal Court: after a preliminary hearing or a grand jury indictment, the felony is bound over to the Holmes County Court of Common Pleas, General Division, which has jurisdiction over adult criminal felony cases, civil actions, and the Adult Probation Department. At that point the Common Pleas judge can review and reset bond conditions.
