Finding Someone Arrested in Montebello
For a recent Montebello arrest, start by contacting the Montebello Police Department non-emergency line at (323) 887-1313 to determine whether the person is still in local custody. If the person has been transferred into Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department custody, search the LASD Inmate Information Center by name or booking number. A person in Montebello Police Department custody will not automatically appear in the LASD database until their booking arrest information is uploaded into the main system. Booking and online publication can take time — if you cannot locate someone, contact Post It Bail Bonds for immediate assistance.
Two custody paths
Still in Montebello custody
The person will not appear in the LASD database until transferred. Contact the Montebello Police Department directly.

Search by name or booking number in the LASD Inmate Information Center.
LASD Inmate Search →If the person's location is unknown
Call the Montebello Police non-emergency line first. If they confirm no local record, check the LASD database. If neither shows a result, booking may still be in progress — delays of several hours are normal. Call Post It Bail Bonds at (323) 213-3472 for help reviewing available information.
Common reasons someone may not appear online yet:
- Booking is still in progress
- Person is held locally at Montebello (not yet in LASD system)
- Medical clearance is pending
- Name entered differs from the legal name on file
- Person has already been released
- Database update delay
Information to have ready

DUI and Domestic Violence Bail Help in Montebello
DUI Bail Bonds in Montebello
After a DUI arrest in the Montebello area, the first step is confirming the arresting agency and where the person is being held. Arrests may be made by the Montebello Police Department, the California Highway Patrol, or the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department depending on the location and circumstances. Each agency uses a different custody system, so confirming the correct agency matters before searching for booking information.
Under the 2026 LA County bail schedule, misdemeanor VC §23152 (DUI) falls under a Book and Release category. Book and Release means the person may be released after booking without posting bail — but this is not automatic or guaranteed. Eligibility depends on the specific charge, any prior record, outstanding warrants, holds, medical clearance, and other factors the arresting agency reviews. If a hold is in place or the charge is elevated to a felony (such as DUI causing injury), a bail amount will typically be set and a bond may be required.
If the person is still in the booking process, bail information may not be available yet. Call Post It Bail Bonds at (323) 213-3472 to review available custody and bail information, or learn more about DUI bail bonds in California.
Domestic Violence Arrests and Bail Bonds in Montebello
Domestic violence arrests in California can result in misdemeanor or felony charges depending on the alleged conduct and any prior history. The specific charge matters — bail for a domestic violence arrest is not one universal amount. Under the 2026 LA County bail schedule, misdemeanor PC §243(e) (battery on a spouse or cohabitant) is listed at $20,000, and misdemeanor PC §273.5 (corporal injury to a spouse or cohabitant) is listed at $30,000. Felony PC §273.5 is listed at $50,000, with a $100,000 entry for certain prior-conviction enhancements under PC §273.5(f). These are schedule amounts — a judge may set a different amount at arraignment based on the specific facts, criminal history, or other factors.
Before arranging pickup or planning for the defendant to return home, confirm whether the court has issued a protective order or imposed release conditions. Protective orders are common in domestic violence cases and may restrict contact or residence. Violating a protective order is a separate criminal offense.
To begin arranging a bond, the family will need the defendant's full legal name, date of birth, booking number if available, the specific charge, and the bail amount if set. Co-signer paperwork and remote arrangements are available — in many cases the agreement can be completed without visiting the office in person.
Call (323) 213-3472 any time, or learn more about domestic violence bail bonds in California.
Bail Costs and Payment Options
Once a bail amount has been set — either by the Los Angeles County bail schedule or by a judge at arraignment — Post It Bail Bonds can review available custody and bail information, explain the written bail bond agreement, and post the bond with the facility holding the defendant. The total bail amount is set under applicable bail rules or court orders; the bail-bond premium is the fee for the surety bond. Payment arrangements and collateral may apply depending on the circumstances and written agreement. The jail controls booking and release processing times; no specific release time can be guaranteed.
Total bail vs. bail bond premium
The total bail amount is set by the Los Angeles County bail schedule or by a judge at arraignment — it is the full amount that would be deposited with the court for a cash bail. The bail bond premium is the fee you pay a licensed bail agent for a surety bond. According to the California Department of Insurance, the consumer cost is most commonly 10% of the total bond amount. The applicable rate, approved discounts, payment terms, expenses, and collateral requirements must be explained in the written agreement.
Payment arrangements and collateral
Payment arrangements may be available depending on the circumstances and the written bail bond agreement. Collateral may be required. Post It Bail Bonds will explain all terms before you sign. A bail bond is not a loan — the premium is earned when the bond is posted and is generally not refundable once the bond has been executed, regardless of the outcome of the case. Ask about the specific terms in the written agreement.
How much is bail after a Montebello DUI or domestic violence arrest?
The table below shows selected entries from the 2026 LA County bail schedules for common DUI and domestic violence charges. These are schedule amounts — the actual bail in a specific case may differ based on a judge's order, enhancements, prior record, holds, or other factors. Charges, enhancements, warrants, and court orders can all change the applicable outcome.
| Charge | Classification | Schedule Amount |
|---|---|---|
| VC §23152 — DUI | Misdemeanor | Book and Release* |
| PC §243(e) — Battery on spouse/cohabitant | Misdemeanor | $20,000 |
| PC §273.5 — Corporal injury to spouse/cohabitant | Misdemeanor | $30,000 |
| PC §273.5 — Corporal injury to spouse/cohabitant | Felony | $50,000 |
| PC §273.5(f) — Prior conviction enhancement | Felony | $100,000 |
* Book and Release means the person may be released after booking without posting bail, subject to eligibility and applicable exceptions. It does not guarantee immediate release and does not apply if holds, warrants, or other release barriers are present. Do not confuse this category with judicial financial-condition guidelines set at arraignment.

How to Bail Someone Out in Montebello — Step-by-Step
After an arrest in Montebello, families often need to act quickly with incomplete information. These steps walk through the process in order. You do not need every piece of information before calling for help.
- 1
Gather the defendant's basic identifying information
Collect the defendant's full legal name, date of birth, and any available arrest information. Even partial information is a starting point.
Do you have the defendant's full legal name and date of birth?
- 2
Confirm the arresting agency and current custody location
Arrests in Montebello may be made by the Montebello Police Department, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, the California Highway Patrol, or another agency depending on the circumstances. The person may be held at the Montebello City Jail (1600 W. Beverly Blvd.) or at an LASD facility. These are different custody systems with different lookup methods.
Is the person still at Montebello Police, or have they been transferred to LASD custody?
- 3
Confirm booking status, bail eligibility, and any release barriers
Once booking is complete, a bail amount may be set from the LA County bail schedule. Some charges require a court appearance before bail is set. Holds, warrants, immigration detainers, and medical clearance can also delay or prevent release. If the person is in Montebello custody, call (323) 887-1313. If transferred to LASD, search the LASD Inmate Information Center at app5.lasd.org.
Has a bail amount been set? Are there any holds or warrants that could affect release?
- 4
Contact Post It Bail Bonds to review available options
Call (323) 213-3472 any time, 24 hours a day. A representative can help review available booking and bail information, explain the process, and identify the correct facility for bond posting. You do not need a booking number to call.
What information do you have available right now? A name and date of birth is enough to start.
- 5
Review the premium, payment arrangements, collateral, and co-signer obligations
The bail-bond premium is the fee for the surety bond. Payment arrangements and collateral may apply depending on the circumstances and written agreement. A co-signer takes on legal responsibility if the defendant fails to appear in court. Review all terms carefully before signing.
Do you understand what a co-signer is responsible for if the defendant misses a court date?
- 6
Complete the bail bond agreement and required paperwork
The written bail bond agreement sets out the premium, any collateral, co-signer obligations, and court-appearance requirements. Read the agreement carefully. Post It Bail Bonds can answer questions before you sign. In many cases paperwork can be completed remotely.
Have all parties who need to sign the agreement been identified?
- 7
Confirm the correct facility for bond acceptance
The bond must be posted at the facility currently holding the defendant. If the person has been transferred from Montebello to an LASD facility, the bond is posted at the LASD facility — not at Montebello Police. Confirm the current custody location before the bond is submitted.
Has the custody location changed since you last confirmed it?
- 8
Confirm release and pickup instructions with the holding facility
After the bond is posted, the facility controls release processing. Release timing cannot be guaranteed. Confirm the release location directly with the facility before traveling — a person may be released from a different location than where they were booked, particularly after a transfer.
Do you know the exact release location and have you confirmed it with the facility?
- 9
Verify court dates and post-release obligations
The defendant must appear at all scheduled court dates. Missing a court appearance can result in bail forfeiture and a re-arrest warrant. Verify the first court date through lacourt.org or with your attorney. The defendant's obligations under the bail bond agreement continue until the case is resolved.
Has the defendant confirmed their first court date and do they understand their obligations?
What Happens After Bail Is Posted?
After the bond is posted with the holding facility, the facility completes its own release processing. A hold, warrant, medical clearance, booking status, or other release barrier can affect timing. The defendant must follow all court appearance obligations. The detention facility controls release timing, and no specific release time can be guaranteed.
Co-signer responsibilities
A co-signer (indemnitor) takes on legal and financial responsibility for the bail bond. If the defendant fails to appear in court, the co-signer may be responsible for the full bail amount and any recovery costs. Post It Bail Bonds will explain all obligations before you sign.
Court date after release
California Penal Code § 825 generally requires arraignment within 48 hours of arrest, excluding Sundays and holidays. Actual timing depends on the day of arrest, court schedules, and applicable exceptions. Cases are heard in Los Angeles County Superior Court. Confirm the court date at lacourt.org.

Where will the defendant be released after bail is posted?

What should a co-signer understand before signing a Montebello bail bond?
A co-signer (also called an indemnitor) takes on legal and financial responsibility for the bail bond.

Not necessarily. Some misdemeanor DUI arrests in California fall under a "book and release" category in the LA County bail schedule, meaning the person may be released after booking without posting bail — subject to eligibility and any applicable exceptions.
