Most arrests happen between 10pm and 4am. Here's what to do when the call comes in.
Step 1 — Stay calm and write down what you know
Defendant's full name, date of birth, jail or arresting agency, charge if known. That's enough to start.
Step 2 — Call a licensed bondsman
(909) 406-6909 answers 24/7. I'll confirm bail amount within 10 minutes and walk you through the rest.
Step 3 — Don't drive to the jail yet
Bond paperwork is signed remotely. Save the drive — you can be at the jail for pickup when release is imminent.
Step 4 — Have ID and payment ready
Government ID for the co-signer plus a card or bank account for the 10% premium.
Step 5 — Wait for release
Most jails release within 4–8 hours of bond posting. Stay near your phone — the jail will call when paperwork is complete.
