In SHELBY , like in most major cities a defendant is usually brought before a judge within 24-48 hours of being arrested. At this hearing the defendant can have an attorney represent him or her and request a bond or to be released on his/her own recognizance. Also at this hearing the defendant will be notified of his/her next court date. It is important to remember the next court date and time because this might be your only notice.

After you are booked at the SHELBY Jail a defendant has several options for release pending the conclusion of his or her case. The bail bond system is designed to guarantee the appearance of a criminal defendant in court at the time the judge directs, once the defendant is released from jail.
