Mulvane straddles the Sedgwick and Sumner county line, so a Mulvane arrest can land your person in the Wichita jail or in the Sumner County jail in Wellington. We are a Wichita bail bond company that works both counties. Call (316) 833-8506 and we will find out which one before you drive anywhere.
We make it easy for you. Let us handle the court and paperwork so you don’t have to.
Open 24/7. We’ll even come and pick you up in Mulvane if you need us to.
A bail bond is a service fee for putting up bail money to a court in order to allow you to get out of jail until your court date. The court will set a bail amount for you, if it is more than you can afford and you don’t want yourself or your loved one to remain in jail until that court date, then you need to talk to a bail bonds company who will put the money up on your behalf.
Co-signing for a bail bond means you are taking legal responsibility for the full amount of the bail bond. So if the court said the bail bond was $10,000, and the bail bondsman is asking you to pay $1,000 to them as their service fee, and the person skips out and runs from the appointed court date, the bondsman will come after you to get the money they put up to the court, which means you owe the full $10,000.
If they were arrested in Mulvane, they are in one of two places. On the Sedgwick County side, the Sedgwick County Adult Detention Facility at 141 W Elm in Wichita. On the Sumner County side, the Sumner County Detention Center at 610 E Hillside in Wellington, 620-326-8943. City tickets written by Mulvane Police go to Mulvane Municipal Court at 410 E Main, 316-351-7205. Call us at (316) 833-8506 and we will tell you which applies and what the bond is.
Mulvane is the one town in our service area where the first question is not how much is the bond. It is which county is your person even in.
Mulvane sits on the line between Sedgwick County and Sumner County. Main Street follows part of that county line, and the center of town is roughly five miles west of the point where Sedgwick, Sumner, Butler and Cowley counties all meet. That means two people arrested a few blocks apart in Mulvane can end up in two different jails, in two different counties, in front of two different judges.
We are a Wichita bail bond company. Our office is at 700 N Market St, Ste 1 and it is staffed around the clock. We do not have an office in Mulvane. We drive out and post the bond in person, and because we work both Sedgwick County and Sumner County we can handle a Mulvane case whichever side of the line it landed on. Call (316) 833-8506 and we will find out where your person actually is before you drive anywhere.
Mulvane does not run a long term jail of its own. Where someone goes after a Mulvane arrest depends on which agency made the arrest and which county the arrest happened in.
If you are calling jails yourself and getting nowhere, that split is usually why. Call us instead. Locating someone is the part we do first and we do not charge for it.
City charges, meaning city ordinance violations and city traffic tickets written by Mulvane officers, stay in Mulvane and go to Mulvane Municipal Court. Both the police department and the court are in the same building at 410 E Main, Mulvane, KS 67110.
That court calendar is worth paying attention to. A municipal court that sits three afternoons a month is not going to squeeze your person in tomorrow. If they are in custody on a city charge, the bond is what gets them home before that next Tuesday docket.
Felonies and county filed misdemeanors do not stay in municipal court. They go to the district court for whichever county the case was filed in.
Same town, same night, two completely different court systems. This is the single most common source of confusion we hear from Mulvane families, and it is the reason we ask for the arresting agency before anything else.
Missing some of it is fine. Call anyway and we will start working while you track the rest down.
The court sets the bond. We charge a percentage of that amount as our fee, and in most situations we can start with a down payment rather than the full fee up front. The exact terms depend on the bond amount, the charge and the county the case is in, which is a real factor in Mulvane because a Sedgwick County case and a Sumner County case are not governed by the same local court rules. We quote you on the phone rather than posting one number that may not apply to your case.
The fee is payment for the service of posting the bond. It is not a deposit and it does not come back at the end of the case. That is true of every bail bond company in Kansas, and any company telling you different is selling you something.
Co-signing means you are on the hook for the full bond amount if your person does not show up to court. Before you sign, ask yourself honestly whether they will make their court dates and whether you will be able to stay in touch with them until the case wraps up. In our experience most problems are not people running. They are people losing track of a date. If you co-sign, put every court date in your phone and make sure they get there.
We have been posting bonds in Mulvane, Derby, Haysville, Wellington and the rest of south central Kansas out of our Wichita office for years, and the county line running through Main Street is something we deal with routinely. Call (316) 833-8506 any hour of the day. Our office at 700 N Market St, Ste 1 in Wichita is open and staffed 24 hours, not just forwarded to an answering service.
