What Should I Do Now?
After an assault-related arrest, confirm whether release conditions have been entered and whether a secured bond has been set. Gather the defendant's information and call to begin reviewing available Wake County bond information.
Information to Have Ready
- Defendant's full legal name and date of birth
- The exact criminal charges and file numbers
- Current custody location
- Whether a secured bond has been set
- Whether contact or stay-away conditions apply
- Whether additional charges, warrants, or holds exist
The Arrest and Release Process
After an arrest, the defendant is processed and brought before a judicial official who determines the conditions of pretrial release. The release order may include a secured bond, unsecured bond, supervision, or other conditions.
Secured Bond
A secured bond must be secured using the full cash amount, another permitted form of security, or a licensed surety. A bondsman can help when the surety option is chosen.
Contact Conditions
The release order may restrict contact with the alleged victim or require the defendant to stay away from specific locations. Posting bond does not cancel these conditions.
What a Bondsman Cannot Control
- The bond amount set by the court
- Whether contact or stay-away conditions apply
- Whether additional charges or holds exist
- The detention facility's release processing time
- Whether the charge qualifies as a domestic violence offense
