The McLeod County Jail has detailed bail information available. To find out information on bail or bonds on McLeod County Warrants, you contact Court Administration of the Sheriff’s Office Dispatch. For out-of-county warrants, the Sheriff’s Office can help you with bond information, but after-hours you must contact the warrant’s originating agency unless the person is in custody in the jail.
Bail and bonds are accepted by the Court Administration Building Monday-Friday, from 8:00am to 4:30pm, except for legal holidays. After hours, on weekends, or on holiday you pay bail at dispatch. Bail for McLeod County inmates who have out of county warrants can only be posted at the Sheriff’s Office or in the agency where the warrant originated. Otherwise, you can post bail at either the Sheriff’s Office or the Court Administration. You can only post bail during office hours at the Court Administration. You can pay bail in cash, but it must be the full and exact amount. You can also pay bond, but the bond agent must be an approved bonding agent that is licensed in Minnesota.
While many people use the terms bail and bond interchangeably, they are not the same thing. Bail refers to cash paid either by the defendant or on his or her behalf. Bonds are documents issued by bonding companies, which serve as a guarantee that a defendant will appear. Failure to appear can result in the bail being forfeited or the bonding company having to pay the amount of the bail. Bail is fully refundable, but if you use a bonding company the bonding company will charge a fee, usually 10% of the bail, and that fee is non-refundable. Bail is only refunded if a defendant appears for all court-ordered appearances and otherwise complies with the terms of bail/bond.
You can find court information for the McLeod County District Court at its website, which is located at www.mncourts.gov/Find-Courts/McLeod.aspx.
