When a judge decides to grant you bail, they look at a number of factors, including the charges you are facing and the way you behave during the arrest and in the courtroom.
An Ohio man who stole $280 from a drug store has had his bail set at $250,000.
Brenden Parker, 27, pulled a BB gun that appeared to be a handgun on a store clerk and demanded the money from the till.
During the police pursuit, officers say he refused to be handcuffed, and officers had to strike him with a baton to get him to comply.
Parker now faces up to 10 years in prison and $20,000 in fines for the charges, which are aggravated robbery, resisting arrest, and obstructing official business.
During his arraignment, Parker seemed confused and disoriented, and following his arrest, he was examined at a medical center for acting “strange.”
When you are arrested, it is in your best interest not to give the courts any reason to believe you will not attend future court dates.
If you are facing a bail that you are unable to pay, it’s time to talk to a bail bondsman.
