After an arrest
- Who decides release first
For misdemeanors, the arresting, correctional, or pretrial officer applies the court system's statewide misdemeanor bail schedule: most people are released on their own recognizance, and some listed charges carry small cash amounts. People arrested for felonies wait for a judicial officer, a superior court judge, district judge, or magistrate judge, at the first appearance.
