Comments on: McDavid Man Charged With Aggravated Assault, Battery On Sheriff’s Deputies http://www.northescambia.com/2022/04/mcdavid-man-charged-with-aggravated-assault-battery-on-sheriffs-deputies Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Fri, 03 Apr 2026 18:45:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Retired Deputy http://www.northescambia.com/2022/04/mcdavid-man-charged-with-aggravated-assault-battery-on-sheriffs-deputies/comment-page-1#comment-487958 Retired Deputy Wed, 13 Apr 2022 16:39:06 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=475047#comment-487958 There are bond guidelines that are set by the Chief Circuit Judge that an arresting officer is required to follow based on the level of and number of each charge(s) that the person is being arrested for. The guidelines are to be followed unless the arresting officer calls the on duty judge and explains why they want to exceed the guidelines. If the person arrested can not make the bond set by the arresting officer, they go to first appearance before a judge. If the judge finds probable cause for the arrest they can increase/decrease the bond amount and set other restrictions of bond. If the judge finds there is no probable cause for the arrest, the arrestee is released. Bond is intended to ensure the arrestee's appearance at future court dates. The judge at first appearance can hold the arrestee without bond, based on a number of factors of law. If the arrestee was arrested for homicide or another crime of violence, the judge can order they be held without bond. If the arrestee was arrested for possession of 300 pounds of Fentanyl or another dangerous drug, the judge can order they be held without bond. There are many charges that the judge can order the arrestee to be held with high or no bond. An arrestee can petition the court for a bond reduction hearing to lower their bond, even if held on no bond. Sometimes this backfires as further investigation may have resulted in additional evidence that can be presented by the State's Attorney. Judge's most often deny bond based on the arrestee being a flight risk or them being a substantial danger to the community.

They simply look up the charges to determine bail amount. Some charges do not allow bond the day you get arrested and you must go before a judge the next day to see if you get a bond. The jail does not make up bonds out of thin air. There is a schedule the jail uses for everyone to determine bond. They simply look up the charges to determine bail amount.

That’s why you can’t get Bail until you see the judge. @Ohyouknow, Bail is not set by the cops. That’s why you can’t get Bail until you see the judge.

Well, pretty sure that this bond is higher because he assaulted LE officers! I personally think the bond should be higher on both of these for the domestic violence, with a significant amount added to this one for resisting and assaulting the officers. Even if they got it wrong, and he did not head butt her he still was aggressive and knowingly assaulted the officers! But hey, that's just my opinion. Area Resident…
