When Can We Post Bail? Walhalla Bond Schedules Explained
Unlike some counties, Oconee County mandates that a bail bond be posted before a judge in all circumstances.
Bond hearings generally take place during scheduled daytime court sessions on weekdays, with limited weekend availability depending on magistrate scheduling.
If the arrest occurred under county jurisdiction, Drolet Bonding can post the bond in front of the chief magistrate or the other two magistrates who hold morning and afternoon bond hearings.
For arrests by a city police department, such as the Walhalla Police Department or the Westminster Police Department, bondsmen are required to call up the specific magistrate with city jurisdiction, meet them at the Oconee County Bond Court, and post the bond.
The key thing you need to know is:
Drolet Bonding is available 24 hours a day to help you prepare, even when bond court is closed.
