Bail bonds in Sweetwater County, Wyoming
Bail City Bail Bonds writes surety bonds for every jail and court in Sweetwater County, with the county seat in Green River. Roughly 41,273 people live in the county, spread across Green River, Rock Springs, Bairoil, Granger, Superior and Wamsutter, and nearly every arrest in the county ends up at the same place: Sweetwater County Detention Center. Our licensed Wyoming bail agents post bonds there 24 hours a day, including weekends and holidays, and we can start the paperwork over the phone or online before our agent is even on the road.
Where your loved one is being held
Sweetwater County Detention Center is located at 50140 US Hwy 191 S, Rock Springs, WY 82901 and is run by the Sweetwater County Sheriff's Office. After an arrest, booking takes one to three hours. During booking the jail records the charges, fingerprints and photographs the person, and checks for holds from other agencies. The Sheriff's Office publishes an online inmate roster that lists the bond amount and bond type once booking is complete. If the bond type is listed as cash or surety, we can post it. If it is cash only, the full amount must be paid directly to the jail or court, and we can still help you understand your options.
Sweetwater County courts and how bond is set
Wyoming handles bond in two courts. Misdemeanors and the initial appearance on most charges are heard in Sweetwater County Circuit Court, located at 50140C US Hwy 191 S, Ste 200, Rock Springs, WY 82901 ((307) 922-5220). Felony cases are bound over to 3rd Judicial District Court, part of the 3rd Judicial District of Wyoming, at 80 W Flaming Gorge Way, Green River, WY 82935 (P.O. Box 430, Green River, WY 82935) ((307) 872-3820). Many people arrested on a weekend do not see a judge until the next business day, and for some offenses the jail uses a bond schedule so bail can be posted immediately. Either way, once a bond amount is set we can move quickly.
How much a bail bond costs in Sweetwater County
Bail City's rates are 10%–20% of the full bond amount, paid once as a premium that is not refunded. On a $2,500 bond that is $250 to $500; on a $10,000 bond, $1,000 to $2,000. Payment plans start as low as 1% down, major discounts can be applied with approved collateral, and collateral is not required in most cases. The court's full bond amount is guaranteed by us, and as long as the defendant attends every court date, nothing further is owed.
What to expect after bond is posted
Once our agent delivers the bond to Sweetwater County Detention Center, release depends on how busy booking is. Most releases in Green River happen within a few hours. The defendant leaves with paperwork showing the next court date in Sweetwater County Circuit Court or 3rd Judicial District Court. Keeping that date, and every date after it, is the only condition of the bond. If something comes up, call your Bail City agent before the hearing rather than after; we can often help get a date reset before a warrant is issued.
