DUI Bail Bond Utica New York NY

Reader’s Question:

Hi, my name is Anne, I live in Utica, New York and my sister was recently charged here with DUI. She already posted bail and I just wonder, can her bail still be increased? What could happen to her if she fails to appear in court?

After your sister has been released from jail for posting bail for her DUI charge in Utica, New York, the court in which the charge is pending may require her to give additional bail in an amount specified or to meet an additional condition upon a finding made in open court that she has failed to appear; or that additional facts have been presented that were not shown at the time of the original release order and the court could order her to commitment unless she gives such bail or meets such other conditions.

The court could issue a bench warrant for her apprehension and arrest her for the failure to appear upon the DUI charge, which would thus be a separate triable offense, separate and distinct from the original DUI charge. The appropriate agency would enter each bench warrant issued on a private surety-bonded felony case into the national warrant system or National Crime Information Center (NCIC).
