Arrested in Bonifay?

Bonifay is the Holmes County seat, where State Road 79 crosses I-10 on the way up from the beaches. The courthouse is on North Oklahoma Street.

Who makes the arrest, and where the case goes

An arrest in Bonifay is usually made by the Bonifay Police Department and the Holmes County Sheriff's Office. Traffic stops happen on Interstate 10, State Road 79 and US 90. Wherever the stop was, the charge is filed in Holmes County and heard at the courthouse in Bonifay, in the Fourteenth Judicial Circuit.

The part most people get wrong

Holmes County is at the western edge of the Fourteenth Circuit, which means a different set of judges and prosecutors. The county the charge is filed in changes more than people expect.

What happens in the first 24 hours

First appearance is usually the morning after the arrest, and bond is set there. Between now and then, the two useful things you can do are to stay silent about the facts and to get an attorney involved. Early intervention may result in charges never being filed, or dismissed entirely.
