How bail works in Washington County
A person arrested in Washington County is booked into the Washington County Jail, 101 Westview Avenue, Marietta, OH 45750 (booking line 740-374-7677), operated by the Washington County Sheriff's Office. After booking, the defendant is brought before a court for an initial appearance/arraignment where bond is set. Misdemeanor and city/county-level offenses are arraigned in Marietta Municipal Court, 259 Butler Street, Marietta, which sets and accepts bond for those cases and publishes a Bond/Waiver Schedule. Felony cases also begin with an initial appearance in Marietta Municipal Court, where the judge may set bond; the case then proceeds through a preliminary hearing or grand jury and, if indicted, is bound over to the Washington County Court of Common Pleas, General Division, 205 Putnam Street, Marietta, which has jurisdiction over felony criminal cases. Bond may be set as a recognizance (own-recognizance/personal) bond, a cash bond, or a surety bond, in amounts and conditions determined by the judge based on the charge, criminal history, and flight risk. Confirm exact bond amount, type, and acceptable payment with the jail or the setting court.
