What to do first after a Dayton arrest
1. Confirm custody
Try to confirm whether the person has been booked, transferred, released, or held for court. If you cannot find the person online, call us and we can help check current information.
2. Check bond status
Bond information may show as a dollar amount, no bond, court-only, holder, warrant, pending hearing, or incomplete booking record. The court or jail controls the final information.
3. Identify the court
The court matters because it can set, change, remove, or add conditions to a bond. The court may also control the timing of the next hearing.
4. Watch for holders or warrants
A probation holder, second county warrant, out-of-county case, or separate court order can affect release even when one bond looks available.
