Finding yourself in handcuffs and heading to jail is a situation no one ever plans for. The process can be overwhelming, from the cold holding cell to the uncertainty of what happens next. But you’re not alone—910 Bail Bonds is here to help you navigate every step.

Whether you’re in Cumberland, Brunswick, or Robeson County, understanding what to do after an arrest can make all the difference. Here’s what you need to know:

What to Do Immediately:
🔹 Secure Your First Phone Calls – If possible, politely ask the officer if you can call someone on the way to jail. If not, make it your priority as soon as you're allowed. First, call a trusted friend or family member. Then, call 910 Bail Bonds at 910-901-2245 so we can be ready to assist you. We accept collect calls from every jail in North Carolina.

🔹 Remain Silent– No matter the situation, do not discuss your case with anyone at the jail. What you say can be used against you. Stay silent until you’ve spoken with an attorney.

🔹 Seeing the Magistrate – Once booked, you’ll meet a magistrate who will determine your bond amount. This typically happens within a few hours but can take longer in high-traffic jails like New Hanover or Moore County. The magistrate will also set any conditions of release, such as no-contact orders or GPS monitoring.

🔹 Possible Delays – If you're charged with domestic violence, probation/parole violations, or other serious offenses, you may have to wait for a judge to set your bond, which could take longer in counties like Bladen or Hoke.

🔹 Medical Concerns? Speak Up – If you have health conditions, take prescription medication, or could experience withdrawal, inform the jail staff immediately. Your health matters, even if you plan to bond out quickly.

💰 Respect Your Cosigner – If someone helped post your bond, they’re taking responsibility for you. Follow the conditions to avoid complications.

📅 Track Your Court Dates – Missing a hearing leads to arrest warrants and additional charges. Sign up for court reminders to stay informed, especially if you’re in Duplin or Onslow County, where missing court could delay your case for weeks.

📝 Document Everything – Take notes on your arrest, including names of officers and witnesses. This can be valuable for your defense.

⚖️ Hire a Lawyer – Whether you choose private representation or a public defender, securing legal counsel as soon as possible is essential.
