Many don't realize it but anytime the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is called out on a "domestic violence" call, one party at the minimum is taken to jail. In jail they'll be spending a minimum of 12 hours "cooling off" before they can be granted bail. Nevada is very sensitive to this law that someone has to be locked up when Metro is called. If a person has no prior conviction of domestic violence, the bail amount will be around $3,000. The cost to get them out would be $450 (15% NV mandated premium fee) + $40 to the jail as a filing fee.
As a result of this strict law, many folks who are far from hardened criminals/abusers find themselves in this situation. It is a charge you don't want to have, but when you're locked up for battery domestic violence in Las Vegas, give us a call, and we'll get you out fast!
Periodically, the various courts out in the Las Vegas area will be offering ticket amnesty periods where you can go in person to take care of tickets (or pay by phone) and you don't have to worry about being arrested if you're in bench warrant status.
