DUI Bail Bonds

DUI is one of the most common reasons for arrest in Iredell and Mecklenburg County.  In our experience, people who find themselves in the position of having been arrested for driving under the influence, are not who people would first think of when the word criminal comes to mind.  Unfortunately, even on a first offense, when someone is pulled over for DUI, they will go to jail.

For DUI suspects placed in jail, their first priority is usually getting out.  Iredell County Bail Bonds specializes in DUI arrests in Iredell and Mecklenburg County.

Usually, for a first time drunk driving offense, a bail bondsman will not be necessary.  The jail will usually hold the arrestee for about 8 hours and then release them on their own recognizance (O.R.) or on citation (cite out).  However, a bail bond may become necessary if any of the following have occurred:

• Prior DUI arrests or prior citations relating to drunk driving.
• An accident occurred (even if you were the only one involved)
• The driver is under 21 years old.
• There was a minor passenger in the car.

If none of these conditions apply, we would advise you to wait 8 hours to see if your loved one is released on their own.  However, if you do need a bail bond, we can get you through the process quickly.

DUI  "driving under the influence", is also known as DWI, "driving while intoxicated".  There was a time when drinking and driving in North Carolina was penalized with a nominal fine. Now, a DUI charge is much more serious. North Carolina has some of the nation's strictest laws for DUI. These laws punish offenders for operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and/or other drugs. Implementing tougher DUI laws has contributed significantly to decreases in drinking and driving crashes in North Carolina County.

It has also increased the number of arrestees.
