Defending the arrested and accused in Washington County

Washington County sits directly north of Bay on State Road 77, so a lot of the people charged there live in Panama City or Lynn Haven and were passing through.

Washington County cases are heard at the county courthouse in Chipley, at 1293 Jackson Avenue, Chipley. The county is part of the Fourteenth Judicial Circuit of Florida.

Who makes the arrest here

In Washington County that is usually the Washington County Sheriff's Office and the Chipley and Vernon 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 Washington County

Living in one county and being charged in another means two sets of dates and two drives. It is worth asking early which appearances actually require you in person.

What to do first

If someone has been arrested in Washington 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.
