How bail works after a Lakewood arrest

When the Lakewood Police Department makes an arrest in this Cleveland lakefront suburb, the person is first booked and held at the city jail inside the Lakewood Police headquarters at 12650 Detroit Avenue. For misdemeanor charges, bail is typically set quickly and the defendant is arraigned at the Lakewood Municipal Court, which shares the same Detroit Avenue building. For felony charges, Lakewood does not have long-term holding capacity, so the accused is transported to the Cuyahoga County Jail in downtown Cleveland, where county booking takes over. Felony cases are then bound over from Lakewood Municipal Court to the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas, which handles all felony arraignments and trials for the county. Ohio uses a statutory 10% bail bond premium, meaning a licensed agent charges 10% of the total bond amount to post a surety bond on the defendant's behalf. Because a Lakewood arrest can move between the city jail and the county jail depending on the charge, confirming exactly where someone is held is the first step before posting bond.
