How Bail Works After a Blaine County Arrest
Because Blaine County can only hold people for up to 72 hours, bail is often set quickly at the first appearance in Justice Court. If the person is transferred, the bond is usually posted where they are held, not in Chinook. With A+ Montana Bail Bonds you pay a percentage of the bail instead of the full amount, and we coordinate with whichever facility has your loved one. Arrests on the Fort Belknap Reservation by tribal officers may go through tribal court, which has its own release rules.
