Q: Can you get a bond with a felony? What happens if you already out on a first offender misdemeanor bond and get a felony?

A: Sure-under those circumstances you "can" get a bond. There's nothing in the law that says the court cannot give you a bond under those circumstances. However, if the prosecutor/court knows or finds out that you picked up a new felony charge while out on misdemeanor probation, they may file a motion to revoke your bond for violating your conditions of bond. Almost certainly one of the conditions of that misdemeanor bond was "do not break any laws/get arrested/get new criminal charges" or something to that effect. So, the new charge would violate that condition of bond. The chances of a prosecutor being aware of the new charges and filing that type of motion are higher when both charges are in the same jurisdiction.

A: Yes, you can obtain bond even with a felony charge. However, securing bond for a felony is often more challenging than for a misdemeanor. The court may require a higher bail amount and stricter conditions to ensure you appear for your court dates.

If you're already out on a first offender misdemeanor bond for a marijuana charge and then face a felony charge for pills, your current bond could be affected. The court might reassess your situation, potentially increasing your bail or adding new conditions based on the severity of the felony.

It's important to consult with a legal professional who can guide you through the process and help you understand the specific laws in your area. They can assist in presenting your case effectively to the court, increasing the chances of favorable bond terms despite the new felony charge.
