How bail works in Pike County
A person arrested in Pike County, Ohio is initially processed by the Pike County Sheriff's Office (14050 US Highway 23, Waverly, OH 45690; 740-947-2111, ext. 2 for Corrections). The Sheriff's Office operates only as a six-hour hold facility, so after booking, detainees are transferred to a jail under contract with the county. The arrestee is then brought before a judge for arraignment, where bond is set. Misdemeanor and traffic charges are handled by the Pike County Court (county/municipal court) at 230 Waverly Plaza, Suite 900, Waverly. Felony charges typically begin with an initial appearance and preliminary hearing in the Pike County Court; after a grand jury indictment the felony case is bound over to the Pike County Court of Common Pleas (100 East Second Street, Waverly). Bond is set under Rule 46 of the Ohio Rules of Criminal Procedure using the court's published bond schedule. Recognized bond types include personal/own-recognizance (unsecured) bonds, 10% bonds, cash bonds, and surety (bail-bond) bonds; a $25 surcharge applies to surety, cash, and 10% bonds per Ohio House Bill 1. Amounts vary by offense degree.
