How bail works after a Lima arrest

When Lima Police Department officers make an arrest within the city, the person is taken to the Allen County Jail at 333 N. Main Street in Lima, which is operated by the Allen County Sheriff's Office. Misdemeanor and traffic offenses arising inside Lima are arraigned at the Lima Municipal Court on N. Union Street, where a judge sets bail and bond conditions, typically at first appearance. Ohio surety bonds carry a state-regulated 10% premium, so a $10,000 bond costs $1,000. Felony charges are bound over to the Allen County Court of Common Pleas at 301 N. Main Street, where a Common Pleas judge handles arraignment and bail. Because Lima is the Allen County seat, the jail, the municipal court, and the Common Pleas court are all clustered within a few blocks of downtown, which keeps the bail process geographically tight. A licensed Ohio bail bondsman posts the surety bond at the Allen County Jail once paperwork and the premium are arranged, securing the defendant's release.
