    When Additional Charges Affect the Bond Process

    A DWI arrest often comes with 'companion' charges like speeding, open container, or resisting an officer. These additional counts can complicate the bail amount and the release process.

    What You Need to Know

    1

    Compounded Bonds: Each charge may carry its own separate bond amount.

    2

    Revocation Risks: If the defendant is already on bond for another case, that prior bond could be revoked.

    3

    Increased Risk: Magistrates view multiple concurrent charges as a higher risk to public safety.

    How Charges Stack

    In Wake County, a magistrate will look at the entire scope of the incident. If someone has a DWI plus a drug possession charge, they will likely have a higher cumulative bond.

    • Companion Charges: Speeding, driving while license revoked, or hit and run.
    • Prior Record: Prior DWIs or felonies will significantly increase the bond amount requested.
