**********EXCEPTION***********
Failure to appear after posting a personal recognizance bond (1M) is a $1000.00 cash bond (not 10%) regardless of place of residence, $29.00, and a $25.00 surcharge for a total of $1,054.00.

Bond will be set by the Judge in open Court on all FELONY offenses. Applicable $60.00 State fees and a $25.00 surcharge are to be included with the posted bond amount on felonies

As to DOMESTIC VIOLENCE misdemeanor offenses, proceed in accordance with the above schedule, unless the arresting officer reasonably believes that the alleged offender may be a danger if released on the set bail. In that instance bond will be set by the Judge in open Court as with felonies.

Note that bond is necessary on UNCLASSIFIED MISDEMEANORS only when the maximum fine imposable exceeds $150.00 and only when a conviction can include a jail sentence. In those instances bond should be set as follows:
Coshocton County Resident: $100 CASH plus $29.00 (criminal) or $39.00 (traffic)
plus $25.00 for a total of $154.00 (criminal) or $164.00 (traffic)
Ohio Resident: $150 CASH plus $29.00 (criminal) or $39.00 (traffic)
plus $25.00 for a total of $204.00 (criminal) or $214.00 (traffic)
Out of State Resident: $200 CASH plus $29.00 (criminal) or $39.00 (traffic)
plus $25.00 for a total of $254.00 (criminal) or $264.00 (traffic)

Bond will only be returned to the person whom actually posted the bond, that is either to the defendant or to the person who signed the bond form as surety. If there is a surety, this person is liable for the full 100% (the actual bond amount, not only the 10% posted) if the defendant should fail to appear at any time when scheduled on the case. The surety must also sign the bond form.

On all offenses resulting in a conviction, the State fees and surcharge (which will be a part of the total court costs assessed) MUST be sent directly from the bond to the state of Ohio. On 10% bonds, there is also a 10% fee from the 10% posted amount that is also kept from the posted amount of the bond and is sent to City as a fee for the privilege of posting a 10% bond. If the offense charged results in dismissal or acquittal, the bond is returned to the defendant or surety in its entirety with the exception of the 10% fee on 10% bonds.

ALL PERSONS RELEASED ON BOND MUST APPEAR IN COURT AS SCHEDULED.
