How bail works after a Newark arrest

When someone is arrested in Newark, Ohio, the Newark Police Division (39 South 4th Street) handles the initial arrest and booking. Most arrestees are then transported to the Licking County Justice Center and held at the Licking County Jail, since Newark is the Licking County seat and the city does not operate its own long-term jail. Misdemeanor and traffic charges, plus the preliminary stages of felony cases, are arraigned in the Licking County Municipal Court at 40 West Main Street in downtown Newark, where a judge sets bond. Felony cases are bound over to the Licking County Court of Common Pleas, also in Newark, for indictment and trial. Ohio bail bond agents charge a state-regulated 10% premium of the total bond amount, which is non-refundable. Because Newark and the county criminal-justice facilities sit blocks apart in the same downtown, a bondsman can usually post bail at the jail quickly once the court sets the amount.
