Drug related arrests in Fresno County range widely, from simple possession to allegations of sales or manufacturing, and the bail amount tends to track that range. Most of these charges are bailable, and we post bonds for all of them.
The charges we see most
Possession for personal use is charged under sections of the California Health and Safety Code such as 11350 for certain controlled substances and 11377 for others. Allegations of possession for sale, like 11351 or 11378, are treated more seriously and carry higher bail. Because of Proposition 47, several low level possession offenses that were once felonies are now charged as misdemeanors, which often means lower bail and a faster release. We read the booking to see exactly what was filed.
How bail is set for drug cases
Simple possession is frequently set straight from the county bail schedule, so a release can begin within hours of booking. Sales and manufacturing allegations, or cases tied to larger quantities, may carry substantially higher bail and sometimes require a judge to set the amount. Whatever the figure, the premium is the same regulated 10 percent, and we lay out the math before you sign.
What a drug bond costs
If possession is set at $10,000, the premium is $1,000, and that is exactly the kind of amount our payment plans are built for. We never advertise a teaser rate that hides the real cost. See the honest breakdown on our bail bond cost page.
