(a) All individuals arrested without a warrant in the city for violation of municipal ordinances of the city shall be released as soon as practical after booking on “own recognizance bonds” (OR bonds) without further conditions of release, except as set forth herein. These individuals arrested without a warrant shall not be required to post any type of monetary bond.
(b) The exceptions to this policy for non-warrant arrests are as follows.
(1) Individuals who are under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs may be held at the Kingman County Law Enforcement Center up to a maximum of six hours from the time of the offense in order to allow the person to become sober enough to no longer endanger himself or herself or others and be able to understand the obligations he or she has to the Municipal Court upon release on OR bond.
(2) Individuals who are charged with domestic violence crime or any other crime that involves an offense against a person shall have a condition of his or her release on the OR bond that the individual shall have no contact with the alleged victim of the offense. This condition shall remain in effect until termination or until waived or modified by the Municipal Court Judge.
(3) Individuals arrested for domestic assault, intentional assault or threatening conduct, or assault may be held in the Kingman County Law Enforcement Center for up to 48 hours to be brought before the Municipal Court Judge for potential imposition of conditions for release (other than the posting of a money bond) or for a determination that the release must be denied to prevent danger to a victim, the community, or any other person under applicable constitutional standards.
(4) If the Municipal Court Judge does impose conditions of release, those individuals who violate conditions of release shall be subject to such actions as determined by the Municipal Court Judge pursuant to applicable law.
