Frequently asked questions
Can you bond out on an out-of-county warrant in Escambia County?
Often yes, if the other county’s warrant lists a bond amount. That bond can usually be posted at the Escambia County jail, and the person is released with instructions to appear in the other county’s court. If the warrant says no bond, the person waits to be picked up.
How long before Santa Rosa picks someone up?
It depends on the agency’s transport schedule and workload, but it’s usually a matter of days, not weeks. The Escambia County jail can usually tell you whether transport has been arranged. After transfer, the person appears on Santa Rosa County’s own Jail View and sees a judge there.
Why is an out-of-county warrant listed as N N?
The warrant entry isn’t a new charge with a degree or level in Escambia County, so both letters are N. The actual charge, its severity and any bond are in the other county’s case. Check that county’s clerk of court and jail lookup for details of the underlying case.
