What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
Scenario:
A search warrant is executed at a home in county A by a city in county B. Money and drugs are found. Homeowner is arrested and taken to the city police station in county B where homeowner is booked in. Within the next couple of hours, suspect is transferred to county A where he is currently on probation. The following morning, suspect appears before the judge in county A for the charges brought about by the city of county B. The judge sets a bond for each charge.
Question:
If suspect is on probation, why is there a bond set? They obviously are aware of the revocation or else he wouldn't have been taken to that county, correct? Also, how does a city in an adjoining county have any jurisdiction to serve a search warrant on a home in another county? And, how is a judge of one county allowed to set bonds for charges incurred by another county?
