Following booking, the accused appears before a court for an initial appearance/arraignment where bond is set.

At the bond hearing a judge may set a personal recognizance (own-recognizance) bond, a cash or surety (bond company) bond, or, in some cases, deny bond. The bond type and amount depend on the charges, the defendant's record, and risk factors under Ohio Criminal Rule 46.
