Walnut is a quiet residential city of roughly 28,000 people in the eastern San Gabriel Valley, between Diamond Bar, Rowland Heights and the City of Industry.
It gives its name to the sheriff’s station that covers this corner of the county — which is a useful thing to know, because two of its neighbours are covered by that same station while a third is not.
Who makes the arrest
This city contracts its law enforcement to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, policed from the Sheriff’s Walnut/Diamond Bar Station, which also covers Diamond Bar and Rowland Heights.
The Sheriff provides patrol services to 153 unincorporated communities and 42 of the county’s 88 cities. There is no city jail here, so deputies handle the arrest from the outset and the route runs into county custody.
Neighbouring La Puente and Hacienda Heights, just to the west, are covered by the Sheriff’s Industry Station instead. If you are not certain which side of that boundary the arrest happened on, say so — it decides which station holds the paperwork.
Do not assume a bond is needed. Since 1 October 2023 the Superior Court’s Pre-Arraignment Release Protocols mean many people arrested in Los Angeles County for non-violent, non-serious felonies and misdemeanours are cited and released at the scene, or booked and released on their own recognisance, with no money bail at all. Money bail still applies to serious and violent felonies, to arrests on a warrant, where a judge sets or increases bail under Penal Code sections 1269c or 1270.1, and where the court restricts the source of bail under Penal Code section 1275.1. Our Los Angeles County guide explains it in full — and if you do not need us, we will tell you.
Where someone is held
Los Angeles County books men and women into different facilities, which is the single most common reason families here are told there is no record of their relative. Men are processed at the Inmate Reception Center in downtown Los Angeles — 24-hour intake (213) 473-6080. Women are held at the Century Regional Detention Facility, 11705 S. Alameda Street, Lynwood — (323) 568-4500.
Which courthouse
- Superior Court of Los Angeles County, East District
- District courthouses: West Covina, Pomona South and El Monte
Confirm the specific courthouse against your paperwork before travelling, or ask us to check. Note that traffic matters moved from West Covina to El Monte in January 2025 — criminal matters did not.
Our nearest office to Walnut
American Freedom Bail Bonds has no Los Angeles County office. Our three physical offices are Anaheim, Brea and La Habra, all in Orange County. Walnut is a service area we cover from our La Habra office, which sits directly on the county line.
Our Brea office is the closest of the three, south over the Orange County line, with La Habra a little further west.
Charges we are called about
- Warrants — in Los Angeles County this is now the most common reason a bond is genuinely required, because the release protocols address arrest without a warrant.
- Domestic violence — Penal Code section 1270.1 requires a hearing in open court, on two court days’ written notice, before release on own recognisance or at a non-schedule amount for certain of these charges.
- Felony charges — where the serious-or-violent test decides whether the protocols apply at all.
- DUI, drug charges and misdemeanours — frequently within the protocols, so ask before assuming.
- All bail services and payment plans.
