How do you pay bail for someone who has been arrested in Deer Lodge County?
When an offender is arrested and brought to the Anaconda Deer Lodge County Detention Center in Anaconda for booking, there are several outcomes after being processed.
1. The offender will be released with no bail, promising to return on a specific date to appear before a judge in either Municipal or Deer Lodge County Court.
