Useful info to have on hand:

• First and last name of the person held
• Approximate booking date or arrest date
• Date of birth if you know it
• Dickenson County or the town where the arrest happened
• Booking number from a court paper, if available

If the online lookup comes up empty, try the court system. The Dickenson County General District Court handles misdemeanors and traffic. The Dickenson County Circuit Court handles felony cases. Both feed into the statewide CIS portal.

Bond and Magistrate Steps

After a Dickenson arrest, the deputy brings the person to the magistrate. The magistrate reads the charge. The magistrate then sets bond or holds the person for court. Under Virginia Code § 19.2-82, this review must happen "forthwith" after a warrantless arrest.

Magistrates work 24 hours a day across the state. They can hear a case in person or by video link. Bond options include cash, surety, property, or release on personal recognizance. Higher charges get higher bond. A felony case may end up held until the first court date.

If bond is set, family can post it at the regional jail's intake desk. The jail then starts the release paperwork. Release timing varies. Most posts go through within a few hours when staffing is full.
