Using Bail Bonds in Delaware to Gain a Respite from Being Behind Bars

Being sent off to jail for any criminal offense you’ve been charged with can ruin whatever immediate plans you have set for yourself. To secure some degree of freedom before your court date, you need to agree to the conditions of your freedom through bail bonds. Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers linesman Desmond Wynn just found out what sort of conditions these are after his arrest on DUI charges at Pennsville, NJ, on December 12, 2014.

The drunk-driving arrest that befell Wynn may just as well come down upon any Delaware resident caught tipsy behind the wheel. The state’s DUI laws mandate no jail time for first offenders, but the degree of blood alcohol content discovered under testing will help determine the duration of license suspension, and fines that may cost up to $1,500 or more, in more serious cases.

If you were caught on DUI charges, and do not plan on staying behind in a prison cell while awaiting trial, you need to check out bail bonds through Delaware companies like 1st Choice Bail Bonds to secure your temporary freedom.

The Pennsville police said that the Tampa Bay sportsman was flagged down on suspicion of DUI during a traffic stop at First Street in Pennsville; upon searching the car, the officers found a .38-caliber firearm with ammunition and a container of marijuana. Wynn later posted $10,000 bail based on the DUI charge, including illegal possession of firearms and ammunition, and possession of a controlled substance.

The circumstances behind one’s arrest will help determine the nature of the bail bond and the conditions of release. If bail is allowed in your case, in exchange for your release and a promise to return to appear on your court dates, you can call a licensed bail agent to give you the information you need and to help put up the premium equivalent to 10% of the expected bail amount. You might have to ask a family member to help provide the guarantee of your presence at your court appearances. Every party is invested in your freedom and return to attend your own trial, or your guarantor will have to pay the full amount if you chose to skip town on your court date.

Once the bail bond is paid up, the bondsman will submit the necessary documents to the authorities, who will then secure your release. Anyone accused of certain charges deserves ample time to be out on bail to prepare his or her defense. Let a company that processes bail bonds in Delaware like 1st Choice give you that option.
