What happens after an arrest in Fullerton
1
Booking at the jail
Officers book the person at the Fullerton City Jail. The jailer tells them the charges and the bail amount. Some charges carry bail enhancements under the California Penal Code, which can raise the amount.
2
You call us
Give us the person’s full name and date of birth. We call the jail for you, confirm the booking and the bail amount, and explain the cost.
3
The co-signer signs
A friend or family member co-signs the bail paperwork. We explain the agreement and every fee before anything is signed.
4
We post the bond
We post the bail bond at the Fullerton City Jail. Once the jail finishes its paperwork, the person is released.
Some people are moved from the Fullerton City Jail to the Orange County jail, usually because of space. If that happens, we post bail at the Intake Release Center in Santa Ana instead. The nearest Sheriff’s jail to the Fullerton City Jail is the Theo Lacy Facility in Orange, about 6 miles away.
Bail or a bail bond?
Paying the full bail yourself
You deposit the full bail amount. The Fullerton Police Department takes cash, cashier’s checks, money orders and California personal checks up to $5,000, made payable to “North Justice Center.” Credit cards are not accepted. The money is returned after the case’s court appearances.
Using a bail bond
You pay us a premium, a percentage of the bail, and we post a bond for the full amount. Most families choose a bond because it costs far less up front. See what a bail bond costs.
