How bail works after a Lancaster arrest

When the Lancaster Police Department makes an arrest within the city, the person is typically transported to the Fairfield County Jail at 345 Lincoln Avenue in Lancaster, where the Sheriff's Detention Bureau handles booking, fingerprinting, and intake. Lancaster is the Fairfield County seat, so most city cases move quickly through the local court system. Misdemeanor and traffic charges from Lancaster arrests are arraigned in the Fairfield County Municipal Court at 136 West Main Street in downtown Lancaster, often by video arraignment conducted from the jail Monday through Friday. Felony charges are bound over to the Fairfield County Court of Common Pleas, General Division, whose clerk is located at the courthouse at 224 East Main Street. Once a judge sets bail, a surety (bail) bond lets a defendant be released by paying a state-regulated 10% premium of the bond amount to a licensed Ohio bail agent, rather than posting the full cash amount. Because the jail, both courts, and the Sheriff's Office are all in Lancaster, paperwork and release coordination usually stay within the city, making local turnaround relatively fast.
