Felony Bonds vs. Misdemeanor Bonds
Felony charges are generally more serious than misdemeanor charges and may involve higher bond amounts or stricter release conditions. The exact bond amount and conditions depend on the charge, the court, the defendant’s history, and other factors considered by the judge.
If the case involves a misdemeanor rather than a felony, visit our Indiana Bail Bond Services page for additional information.
Felony Charges We Can Assist With in Indiana
Felony charges can range from lower-level offenses to more serious cases, and the bond process can vary depending on the charge and the court handling the case. Smith American Bail Bonds provides felony bail bond assistance for many types of eligible cases throughout Indiana.
Common felony charges may include:
-
Drug possession and other drug-related offenses
-
Theft and property crimes
-
Fraud and financial offenses
-
Felony battery charges
-
Probation violations involving felony cases
-
Certain weapons-related offenses
-
Burglary and other property-related charges

Other felony offenses where the court permits release on bond
The availability and amount of bail depend on the specific case and the court’s order. Some felony cases may have special release conditions or may require an initial hearing before a bond is available.
Felony Drug Charges
Drug-related felony cases may involve possession, dealing, manufacturing, or other allegations depending on the circumstances and the substance involved. When a court allows release on bond, we can help families understand the bail bond process and begin the necessary paperwork.
Felony Theft and Property Charges
Felony theft, burglary, and other property-related charges can result in different bond amounts depending on the allegations, value involved, prior history, and court. Our team can assist with eligible felony bonds and explain the next steps after an arrest.
How the Felony Bail Bond Process Works
The felony bail process can vary by county, court, charge, and individual case. In some cases, a defendant must complete booking or appear before a judge before a bond is available. The court determines the bond type, amount, and any conditions of release.
1. Arrest and Jail Booking
After an arrest, the defendant is taken to the appropriate jail or detention facility for booking. The booking process may include identity verification, fingerprints, photographs, record checks, and other required intake procedures.
3. Complete the Bail Bond Paperwork
Call Smith American Bail Bonds for 24-hour assistance or begin the process using our Online Bail Bonds Indiana service. Have the defendant's full name, date of birth, jail or county, charges, and bond information available when possible.
2. Bond Information Becomes Available
Once bond information is available, confirm the bond amount and type ordered by the court. If a surety bond is authorized, Smith American Bail Bonds can review the available information and explain what is needed to begin the bonding process.
4. Bond Posting and Jail Release
After the required paperwork is completed and the bond is accepted, the jail begins its release procedures. Release is not always immediate. Processing time can vary based on the jail, booking status, staffing, additional holds, court requirements, and other case-specific factors.
For more information about what can affect release time, read our Indiana Jail Release Times guide.
How Much Does a Felony Bail Bond Cost in Indiana?
The amount needed for a felony bail bond depends on the total bond amount, the type of bond authorized by the court, and whether the bond qualifies for the available rate. Smith American Bail Bonds provides 8% bail bonds when eligible.
For example, if an eligible felony surety bond is set at $10,000, an 8% bail bond premium would equal $800.
$10,000 × 8% = $800
The court determines the bond type and amount. A bail bondsman cannot change a court-ordered cash-only bond into a surety bond.
Larger Felony Bonds
Felony cases can sometimes involve larger bond amounts. Larger surety bonds may require additional information, qualification, underwriting, or collateral depending on the circumstances of the bond.
If you already know the defendant's bond amount, Smith American Bail Bonds can review the available information and explain what may be required to begin the process.
For additional examples covering $5,000, $10,000, $25,000, $50,000, $100,000 and other bond amounts, visit our Indiana Bail Bond Cost Guide.
