Q: If someone is out on bond for one offense in a certain court jurisdiction and they are arraigned on another offense in another jurisdiction, can that first bond be taken into consideration for the second offense?

A: No; the general rule is that one bail bond serves to secure the defendant for only one crime.

Yep, new charges, new county, new bail bond.

You should be aware that committing a crime while out on bail can often be another charge in itself.
