Drug Charges bail bonds

Drug Charge Bail Bonds in Riverside County

Drug arrests range from simple possession to possession for sale and transportation. Whether a charge is filed as a misdemeanor or a felony depends on the substance, the amount, and the alleged intent, and bail tracks that severity.

How bail usually works for drug charges cases

Every case is different, and the judge can move the number up or down from the county bail schedule based on the facts and the person's record. The points below reflect how these cases typically play out so you know what to expect before you call.

• Simple possession bail can be relatively low, while possession for sale or transportation pushes the amount up sharply.
• Large quantity and trafficking allegations can carry six figure bail in serious cases.
• Some possession cases qualify for diversion programs, which is one reason getting out quickly to meet an attorney matters.
• The type and weight of the alleged substance is usually the single biggest driver of the bail figure.

Drug Charges cases in Riverside County

Because the county straddles the I-10 and I-15 corridors, transportation and sales allegations are common here and carry far higher bail than simple possession. Many simple possession cases in Riverside County are still eligible for diversion under California law, so a quick release to sit down with an attorney can change the entire outcome.
