After an arrest, the offender will be taken to Smith County Jail. They will then be booked into the system. It’s just prior to this process that they’ll be given their one phone call.
What happens next depends on the crime they’ve been accused of. If they’re accused of a misdemeanor, there will likely be a scheduled bond. This means that we can immediately begin the process of bonding them out of jail.
If they were accused of a felony, they’ll likely need to appear before a judge. At this appearance, the judge will set their bail amount. This can take a few days, depending on when they were arrested.
Either way, once the bond is set, we can immediately begin working to bail you or your loved one out of jail.
