How bail works in Pickaway County
Someone arrested in Pickaway County is booked into the Pickaway County Jail, operated by the Pickaway County Sheriff's Office at 600 Island Road, Circleville, OH 43113 (jail 740-477-6156). After booking, the arrestee is brought before a court for an initial appearance and arraignment, where bond is set. For most misdemeanor, traffic, and OVI cases — and for the initial appearance on felony charges arising in the county — this occurs in the Circleville Municipal Court. Per that court, in-custody defendants are typically arraigned at 10:00 a.m. by video from the jail, while those out on bond or summons appear at 8:00 a.m. The judge may set a recognizance (signature) bond, an appearance bond, or a cash or surety bond. Felony cases are not resolved in Municipal Court; after a preliminary hearing or grand jury indictment they are bound over to the Pickaway County Court of Common Pleas (207 South Court Street, Circleville), which handles felony criminal cases and may review or set bond going forward.
