Henry County 72 Hour Booking Charges

Common charges at the Henry County Correctional Facility include DUI, domestic assault, drug possession, violation of probation, theft, and failure to appear. Bond amounts range from a few hundred dollars for minor offenses to tens of thousands for serious felonies. Each booking record lists every charge with the corresponding bond.

Some records show $0 bond. That usually means a hold from another jurisdiction or a charge where no bail was set, like certain probation violations. The judge or magistrate sets the initial bond at the first court appearance. Under Tenn. Code Ann. § 40-7-103, Tennessee law spells out when officers can make warrantless arrests. Those arrests produce 72 hour booking records the same as any warrant-based arrest. The classification field on each record shows whether the charge is a misdemeanor or felony.

Note: Initial charges may be upgraded or dropped after the district attorney reviews the case file.
