Assault charges in Charlotte often come out of a single bad moment — a fight, an argument that escalated, a situation that got out of hand fast. The charge can range from a simple misdemeanor assault to a serious felony, and that range is the first thing a family needs to understand when arranging a bond.
After an assault arrest, the defendant is booked at the Mecklenburg County Detention Center and held for a bond decision. Sloan Bail Bonding has posted assault bonds across the county since 2013, for charges large and small.
Call us and we will read the situation honestly and explain what release involves. For a complete overview of how we work across the Charlotte region, see our main Charlotte bail bonds page.
North Carolina treats assault on a sliding scale. Simple assault and assault and battery are usually misdemeanors. Assault with a deadly weapon, assault inflicting serious injury, and assault on certain protected individuals are far more serious and can be felonies.
Some assault charges also overlap with domestic situations — and when they do, the case may follow the domestic violence track, where a judge rather than a magistrate sets bond. We will tell you which path your case is on.
For a straightforward misdemeanor assault, a magistrate generally sets bond within hours of booking, and the amount is often reasonable. Felony assault charges — especially those involving a weapon or serious injury — bring higher bonds and stricter conditions.
If the assault is classified as domestic, expect the judge-review step that comes with DV cases. The bonding process once bond is set is the same; it is the wait beforehand that differs.
After posting, Mecklenburg County out-processing runs the usual two to six hours. If the case is on the domestic-violence track and waiting for a judge, the overall timeline is longer — we explain that clearly up front so no one is caught off guard.
Step 1 — Arrest and transport to the Mecklenburg County Detention Center.
Step 2 — Booking, and a check on whether the charge is classified as domestic.
Step 3 — A magistrate sets bond — or, for DV-classified cases, a judge does.
Step 4 — You call Sloan; we confirm the booking and explain the numbers and conditions.
Step 5 — The cosigner signs and pays, or arranges a payment plan.
Step 6 — We post the surety bond and release begins.
The premium is the standard North Carolina rate of 15% of the bond amount, regardless of whether the assault is a misdemeanor or a felony. The charge level affects the bond figure, not the percentage.
| Bond amount | Premium (15%) |
|---|---|
| $1,000 | $150 |
| $5,000 | $750 |
| $10,000 | $1,500 |
| $25,000 | $3,750 |
| $50,000 | $7,500 |
Payment plans are available in many cases. Call for a quote tied to your specific bond.
Assault cases are often more complicated than they first look — the classification, any domestic element, the injury level all matter. We sort that out for you and give a straight answer on timing instead of a rushed one.
