Arapahoe County Bail Bonds

Arapahoe County Bail Bonds

Arapahoe County Bail Bond Services:

If you’re arrested and jailed for a crime, the judge may set bail for you. By posting a cash bond, you promise the court to return on a specific date for your hearing. If you fail to appear, you may forfeit the money. The amount of bail set by the court often depends on the seriousness of the crime you’ve been charged with, whether you are guilty or not. Bail provides an opportunity to get back to your normal activities until the hearing date.

Given that courts are usually very busy, your court date may be scheduled months away. Naturally, you would prefer to post bond and return to your regular life rather than remain in jail for a long period. Additionally, you can’t build a strong defense while sitting in a jail cell. You need the freedom of the outside world to effectively prepare your case. Don’t stay in jail when you have the option to post bail and work on your defense.

It is crucial that you remain at your place of residence and appear before the judge on the specified date. Failure to appear may result in the forfeiture of the bond posted by Bail Bonds.

To secure the bond amount, you may be asked for collateral such as real property or other valuable items. When bail amounts are as high as $50,000 or more, no bonding agent can afford to take such losses and remain in business.

CALL US 

If you are unable to provide collateral for the bond posted by Arapahoe Bail Bonds, family or friends can step in to guarantee your bond by offering collateral on your behalf. However, if you fail to appear in court, this can place a serious burden on those who co-signed for you and potentially damage your relationships with them. The bail bonds business is considered high-risk due to the possibility of defendants not appearing in court, which can result in significant financial loss for the company.

If a defendant skips bail, bounty hunter fees will be charged, a warrant for your arrest will be issued, and the bond will be revoked or the bail amount may be increased. This underscores the importance of appearing in court on your scheduled dates.

In such cases, Arapahoe County Bondsman has the legal right to search for and apprehend you, similar to a law enforcement officer, and bring you back to court. The term “bounty hunters” may evoke images of old western movies, but today, it refers to trained professionals, often former law enforcement officers, who are licensed by the State of Colorado to track down defendants, using force if necessary. Being pursued by a bounty hunter is a highly unpleasant situation that should be avoided at all costs.

Arapahoe County is historically considered the oldest county in Colorado. It is often referred to as Colorado’s first county, and it is even older than the Colorado territory.  Arapahoe was named after a native American tribe which used to reside in the region. Arapahoe, when translated, means “ tattooed on the chest.” This was a practice of the original native American tribes in that area.

The subsequent formation of the county can be attributed to the Pike’s Peak Goldrush, where miners, fortune seekers, and their families decided to form what would become a county.  Arapahoe was part of Kansas territory then.

The Sheriff’s Department of Arapahoe could be considered the oldest Sheriff’s Department in Colorado, much older than that of Denver.

Brief History

Congress passed an act organizing the Territory of Colorado on February 28, 1861.  The Colorado Territorial Assembly organized the original counties of Colorado, including a new Arapahoe County. The vast area of original Arapahoe County covered almost the whole of what is currently North Eastern Colorado.

E.W. Wynkoop was appointed by Governor Denver of the Territory of Kansas Arapahoe County in 1858 to serve as Arapahoe County’s first Sheriff. At that time, the County seat was in Denver.

In 1902, Arapahoe was divided into several counties, as well as the City of Denver. Arapahoe was then called South Arapahoe. Eventually, the term “South” was removed and became once again known as Arapahoe. A Courthouse and a jail were constructed at Littleton, and a sheriff was appointed. Hence, that was how Arapahoe became a County with 2 Sheriffs.
