  • Identification confirmation.
  • Photographs (mugshots).
  • Answering questions regarding health and criminal background.
  • Potential DNA collection.
  • Conducting a physical search.

1. Release without paying bail, with a commitment to appear in court.
2. Continued detention until their court date.
3. Release upon paying a bail or bond. Call 509-477-2278 for the bail amount.

Bail can be paid through various methods.
