↑ Back to the question list3. Bond on Gun Club Road
Palm Beach County is the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit. First appearance comes within 24 hours:
- ROR, out with no payment.
- Cash: the full amount, returned by the Palm Beach clerk at the end with costs taken out.
- Bondsman: 10 percent premium, at least $100 per charge, kept.
Broward, Martin or probation holds can keep someone at Gun Club Road. A missed date brings a warrant. See our Palm Beach bail page.
↑ Back to the question list4. Did a Boca Raton or Belle Glade warrant arrest go to Gun Club Road?
Usually, yes. PBSO's Main Detention Center on Gun Club Road takes warrant pickups from Boca Raton and Jupiter out to Belle Glade, and the Sheriff's Office jail desk at 561-688-3000 can tell you who is inside. Use the warrant search for open local warrants and eCaseView for the court file. Warrants from outside the county appear on FDLE's statewide wanted database. If you turn out to be the one wanted, counsel can set up a surrender and a bond request, and the Dixie Highway clerk can move the hearing.
