How bail works after a Shaker Heights arrest

When the Shaker Heights Police Department makes an arrest in the city, the person is typically processed and then held at the Cuyahoga County Jail in downtown Cleveland, which serves as the central detention facility for the county. Misdemeanor charges and initial appearances are handled by the Shaker Heights Municipal Court at 3355 Lee Road, where a judge sets bail at arraignment. Ohio uses a 10% bail premium, meaning a licensed bail bondsman posts a surety bond for a non-refundable fee of 10% of the total bail amount. If the charge is a felony, the case is bound over to the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas in Cleveland, where a Common Pleas judge handles bond and further proceedings. It is worth noting that the Shaker Heights Municipal Court is a shared regional court: it serves not only Shaker Heights but also Beachwood, Hunting Valley, Pepper Pike, and University Heights, so defendants from several neighboring communities may appear there. A bondsman can post bail at the jail once an amount is set, regardless of which court has jurisdiction.
