How bail works in Summit County
After an arrest in Summit County, the defendant is booked into the Summit County Jail (Sheriff’s Office). The jail does NOT accept money for bonds — all bonds must be paid at the Clerk of Courts of the court with jurisdiction (Akron Municipal Court for offenses in its jurisdiction, or the Summit County Common Pleas Clerk for indicted felony cases). Call the jail at (330) 643-2171 to confirm the exact amount, then pay at the appropriate Clerk of Courts. Bond is set by a judge or magistrate (personal recognizance is the default for most misdemeanors per the Akron Municipal Court schedule); once the court issues release paperwork, release typically takes two to three hours.
