What Happens After an Arrest in Wake County
When an arrest occurs in Wake County, local law enforcement transports the defendant to the Wake County Detention Center in Raleigh.
Here’s how the Wake County release process works:
-
Booking & intake: Fingerprints, mugshots, and personal information are recorded.
-
Magistrate appearance: A magistrate sets bail based on the charges and risk factors.
-
Bond amount is notified: You now know what the bond is — and can move forward with a bondsman.
