Why can some people post bond and be released from the Hoopeston Police Department and others have to be taken to the Public Safety Building in Danville and be bonded out there?
People arrested for ordinance violations, minor traffic offenses and misdemeanor crimes can post bond and be released here in Hoopeston. Those that are arrested on felony charges (more serious crimes) must be processed through the Vermilion County Sheriff’s Department and see a judge who will set their bond. This all happens in Danville.
