Battery Constituting Domestic Violence
In Nevada, the laws dealing with crimes or allegations of Battery Constituting Domestic Violence are different than almost every other type of crime. There are laws written specifically to allegations of violence occurring in a domestic context. Nevada defines “Domestic Violence” in NRS 33.018 as occurring when any person commits an act of violence against one of the following: a spouse or former spouse, a person related by blood or marriage, a resident of the same house (such as a roommate), a person in a dating relationship (past or present), if they have a child in common or where there is a parent/child or guardian relationship.
To amount to domestic “violence,” the act can be (as defined in Nevada Law) a battery, assault, the compelling of the other person by force or threat of force to perform an act from which the other person has the right to refrain or to refrain from an act which the other person has the right to perform (known in Nevada as the crime of “coercion”), sexual assault, a course of reckless conduct designed to harass the other (such as stalking, arson, trespassing, destruction of the person’s property, stealing (or larceny) of the person’s property, injuring (or killing) the person’s animal, carrying a concealed weapon (without a permit)), falsely imprisoning the person or unlawfully/forcibly entering the person’s residence.
Arrested for Battery Domestic Violence: Now What?
Just as the laws pertaining to investigations of Battery Domestic Violence are unique in Nevada, so are the laws after a suspect is arrested. Nevada law, in NRS 171.1225, states that a person will not be admitted to bail sooner than 12 hours after arrest. That means if you are arrested and taken to jail, you MUST stay there for at least ½ a day to “cool off.” In addition, bails are higher for Battery Domestic Violence allegations than for other misdemeanor offenses. The standard bail on most Las Vegas Misdemeanor charges is $1,000.00. Standard Bail for a First Offense Battery Domestic Violence allegation is triple that, or $3,000.00. For a Second Offense Battery Domestic charge, the standard bail is $5,000.00.
The reality of the situation is that Bail Bonds are designed for only one purpose and that is making sure you will show up in court while staying out of jail until the process is completed and settled.
Don’t hesitate to call Bail Stop Bail Bonds with any questions you may have about your situation or the bail process in the state of Nevada.
