How bail works after a Sandusky arrest

In Sandusky, the county seat of Erie County and home to Cedar Point, most arrests are made by the Sandusky Police Department (222 Meigs Street). After booking, defendants are typically held at the Erie County Jail at 2800 Columbus Avenue in Sandusky. Misdemeanor and traffic charges, plus initial felony arraignments, are heard at Sandusky Municipal Court (222 Meigs Street), which has its own jurisdiction over the City of Sandusky, Perkins Township, and the Villages of Bayview and Castalia. Felony cases are bound over to the Erie County Court of Common Pleas at 323 Columbus Avenue. A judge sets bail at the first appearance, and a licensed Ohio bail bondsman can post a surety bond for a state-regulated 10% premium of the total bond amount, securing release while charges are pending. Note: the City of Sandusky is in ERIE County (Lake Erie / Cedar Point) and is NOT Sandusky County, whose seat is Fremont.
