What Is a Misdemeanor Bail Bond?

A misdemeanor is a criminal charge that is less serious than a felony but still results in arrest and booking. Common misdemeanor charges include disorderly conduct, petty theft, minor assault, and trespassing. Bail amounts for misdemeanors are typically lower than felonies but you still need a bail bond if you cannot pay the full amount in cash.

Do Not Wait on a Misdemeanor Arrest

Even a misdemeanor charge can result in hours or days in jail if bail is not posted quickly. Inmates arrested in Columbus are processed through the Columbus Police Department or Stillwater County Jail. If the jail reaches capacity, they can be transferred to Yellowstone County Detention in Billings. Call us right away and we will move fast to prevent that.

Where They Are Being Held

Columbus Jail Locations

After an arrest in Columbus or Stillwater County, your loved one will be held at one of two locations. When the jail is full, inmates can be transferred to the Yellowstone County Detention Facility in Billings, about 45 miles away. The faster you call us, the better the chance we can post bail before any transfer happens.

Transfer Warning: Once transferred to Yellowstone County, processing takes much longer. Call Lisa's Family Bail Bonds immediately after arrest.
