What happens after an arrest
- Booking (1–3 hours): the person is arrested by Chesapeake Police Department and processed — fingerprints, photos, records check, medical screening.
- Magistrate hearing: a magistrate reviews the charges and sets bail, usually within hours — Virginia magistrates work around the clock, including weekends.
- Posting bail: the family posts the full amount in cash, or pays a licensed bondsman a premium — a fraction of the bail, quoted up front — to post the bond. (Which is right for you?)
- Release: after the bond is posted, the jail verifies paperwork, processes property, and releases — typically 3–6 hours on the jail's end.
