What Happens After a Columbia Arrest

They take a mugshot and collect fingerprints. Each charge is entered with the statute number and a bond amount. The whole process can take a few hours depending on how busy the jail is that day.
After booking, the person waits for an initial court appearance. Tennessee law under Tenn. Code Ann. 40-11-115 says this must happen without unnecessary delay.
