How bail works after a Westerville arrest
Most arrests in Westerville are made by the Westerville Division of Police, headquartered at the Justice Center on Huber Village Blvd. Because Westerville straddles the Franklin/Delaware county line (with most of the city in Franklin County), an arrestee from the Franklin County portion is typically booked into the Franklin County Corrections Center in downtown Columbus, while the small Delaware County portion may route to Delaware. The Westerville Mayor's Court, located inside the Justice Center, hears only minor matters charged under the Westerville Codified Ordinances, such as first-offense OVI and city-code misdemeanors. Most state-law misdemeanors are arraigned at the Franklin County Municipal Court at 375 South High Street in Columbus, which sets bond for those cases. Felony charges proceed to the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas in Columbus after an initial appearance. Ohio surety bail bonds carry a state-regulated premium, commonly 10% of the bond amount, which is non-refundable. A licensed agent posts the bond so the defendant can be released while the case moves through the appropriate court.
