After the Arrest—Assault and Battery in Riverside
We will be clear: There is nothing fun, exciting, or easy about getting arrested. This time will likely prove to be difficult, but at Justice Bail Bonds, we will do our best to make it make the procedure as smooth as possible for you and your loved ones.
If you have been arrested for assault and/or battery in Riverside, California, you are probably wondering what happens next. The law can be confusing, but you should become familiar with some basic information, starting with the fact that assault and battery are two different crimes:
Assault
- Assault includes creating fear by making threats, gestures, and/or suggestions
- The assaulter does not have to physically touch another person to be charged
- Misdemeanor assault charges vary but can carry a one-year sentence behind bars
Battery
- Battery is physically harming someone
- Battery can be referred to as “assault and battery” because the two are often used together
- You can batter someone without assaulting them
Aggravated Assault
- Aggravated assault cases are more serious than assault and/or battery cases
- Assaulting someone with a weapon (i.e. butt of a gun, broken bottle, knife, etc.) can increase the charge to “aggravated assault”
- Assault against certain groups of people (i.e. the elderly, children) can increase the charge to “aggravated assault”
- Aggravated assault charges vary, resulting in a sentence of years to decades behind bars
Please Note: While charges can vary from misdemeanor to felony, and penalties can differ, too; the more the severe the crime is, the harsher the punishment.
Assault and Battery Bail Bonds in Riverside, CA
Bail, which may or may not be set depending on your specific case, is a monetary and written promise that you will appear for a future court date following your arrest. In order for you to be released from jail, you will have to pay this monetary amount. Every county throughout California has its own bail schedule.
As stated above, the more severe the charge, the harsher the punishment, as well as the higher amount in which bail will be set—if it is set.
If bail is set for your assault and/or battery charge, anyone is permitted to pay that monetary amount. Specifically, they can “post” your bail. The fastest way to move this process along is to give the jail or police station the accused person's full name and their date of birth.
If you pay or “post” your bail, this fee will eventually be returned to you (minus standard court fees), but only if and when you appear for your scheduled court appearance.
It is common for individuals to have difficulty coming up with the bail money on their own. In this case, a licensed bail bondsman, such as the experienced professionals at Justice Bail Bonds in Riverside, California, can assist for a small fee.

Q: What happens after my arrest?
