You will have to pay $595 in cash or 10-20% of that to a bondsman depending on what they want. If you pay cash and he shows up in court, you get it all back. If you pay a bondsman and he shows up, you don't get the fee back.
If the city has a hold on him, he won't get out until that is taken care of - more money.
It sounds like this guy needs some lessons in responsibility - will he lose his job if he stays in jail and is he supporting you at all? Consider leaving him there.

The figures they gave you are what you would pay to a bailbondsman to get your bf released. Realize that those fees are NOT refunded to you. That represents 10% of the total fee to release. The bailbondsman puts up the rest and keeps the fee you pay him as his when your bf shows up in court. The main problem I see here is that there is a holder on him from the city. So the county will release him, but then he will sit in the city jail because of the holder. You would be throwing your money out the window. It is NOT in your best interest to pay this since he wont be released from jail regardless. Sorry.

Sounds like you need $145 plus $450....You may can get the bond reduced...Sounds like you may need to consult an attorney.
Not sure if a bail bondsman will mess with such a low amount.You can try calling one..

Generally, it's 10% to a bail bondsman. And it also depends on the he did for the city to have a "hold" on him.

it's smarter to ask the cashier at the jail.
