Defending the arrested and accused in Gulf County
Gulf County runs from Port St. Joe down Cape San Blas, and its summer population is many times its winter one. It shares the Fourteenth Circuit with Bay, so the same State Attorney's office prosecutes both.
Gulf County cases are heard at the county courthouse in Port St. Joe, at 1000 Cecil G. Costin, Sr. Blvd., Port St. Joe. The county is part of the Fourteenth Judicial Circuit of Florida.
Who makes the arrest here
In Gulf County that is usually the Gulf County Sheriff's Office and the Port St. Joe and Wewahitchka police departments. Whichever agency writes the report, the decision to file a charge, reduce it or drop it is made by the State Attorney for the Fourteenth Circuit.
What we tell people in Gulf County
A visitor charged on the cape usually wants the case resolved without coming back three times. That is a scheduling question worth raising at the first hearing, not the third.
Communities we serve in Gulf County
Port St. Joe, Wewahitchka and the beaches along Cape San Blas.
What to do first
If someone has been arrested in Gulf County, first appearance is usually the next morning and bond is set there. Call before that hearing if you can. Exercise your right to remain silent and let an attorney guide you through police questioning - early intervention may result in charges never being filed, or dismissed entirely.
