What Happens When Someone is Booked into the Weld County Jail in Greeley?
When a person is first booked into the Weld County Jail after being arrested by Greeley Police, they will remain in custody until their bond hearing. Bond hearings take place within 48 business hours of the person’s arrest. At these hearings, the judge sets bail – usually in the form of cash or personal recognizance – for the defendant. If the defendant, a friend, or family member can post bond, the defendant is released from jail. They must agree to appear at all future hearings at the Weld County Court and abide by any other bail-bond conditions, or they will forfeit the bond and be arrested again.

My Loved One Was Just Arrested in Fort Lupton or Ault – What Do I Do Now?
If a loved one was just arrested in Fort Lupton, Ault, or elsewhere in Weld County, we first recommend contacting a top Greeley criminal defense lawyer to visit them. Arrest is stressful, and a visit from an attorney can help assuage your loved one’s fears. This is also critical because the sooner a lawyer can reach your loved one, the better. A criminal defense lawyer can help them understand their rights and keep them from accepting the District Attorney’s first plea deal. They can then negotiate a better plea bargain or even fight to have the charges against your loved one completely dismissed.
