How bail works after a Pickerington arrest

Pickerington straddles Fairfield and Franklin counties, with most of the city in Fairfield County. When the Pickerington Police Department makes an arrest, the person is booked and held at the county jail for the county where the offense occurred: the Fairfield County Jail in Lancaster or, for the Franklin County portion, the Franklin County Corrections Center in Columbus. Minor city-ordinance and many misdemeanor and traffic matters are arraigned in the Pickerington Mayor's Court, which meets at City Hall. Cases requiring a jury, or appeals, transfer to the Fairfield County Municipal Court in Lancaster (Fairfield-side offenses) or the Franklin County Municipal Court in Columbus (Franklin-side offenses). Felony charges are bound over to the Court of Common Pleas in the county of offense (Fairfield County Common Pleas in Lancaster or Franklin County Common Pleas in Columbus). A judge or magistrate sets bail; Ohio bail bondsmen typically charge a 10% premium of the bond amount. Posting bail at the correct county jail secures release pending the next court date.
