If any officer shall accept or approve any cash bond at any place or in any other manner than is herein provided for and authorized, such unauthorized acceptance or approval shall constitute good cause for his or her suspension or removal, or the reprimand or fining of such officer after a hearing on the charge by Council. In case of the arrest of any person upon a charge of a felony, the bond for his or her release, if approved, shall only be approved by the Municipal Judge, or the Judge of the Circuit Court of Kanawha County or Circuit Court of Putnam County, and no other officer of the city shall be authorized to admit to bail any person charged with felony.
