When charged with assault, you could be bailed out in as little as a few hours. However, if you are accused of causing bodily injury or severe property damage, you can be arrested and brought in front of a judge for further interrogation.

Moreover, assault bail bonds carry a number of stipulations to protect the victim from harassment from the defendant. You should pay special attention to the personal protection order in bond. Essentially, the personal protection order contains some parameters that you must obey. Otherwise, your bail will be canceled. You’ll be rearrested and taken back to jail.

How much is bail for assault?

There’s no quick and easy way to determine how much assault bail bonds will cost. There are several different charges used by prosecutors, from assault in the third degree (class A misdemeanor) to assault in the first degree (felony). That means the cost of the assault bail will vary depending largely on the intensity of the charges leveled against you.

Simple assault is the lowest level of assault. Physical contact is normally fairly inconsequential with this kind of misdemeanor charge and it can carry a fine of not more than $500.

Aggravated assault or felony assault is a more grievous crime. It may involve the intent to cause physical injury, the presence of a deadly weapon, or an actual physical injury. The bail bond for assault with a dangerous weapon, which is not a firearm, normally starts from about $25,000. It jumps to $50,000 if a firearm is involved.

You can pay up to $100,000 if you assault a police officer or firefighter with a firearm. Sexual assault is treated much more aggressively, and the bail amounts can go up to $1,000,000.

In addition to the intensity of the alleged crime, the amount of bail depends on several other factors such as:

• Your past criminal record
• Whether you are a public servant/employed
• Whether you have close ties to relatives and the community

Once all these are considered, it is up to the judge to set bail. You can use the inbuilt onsite calculator to get an approximate bail amount depending on the circumstances of your assault charges.
