Ridgecrest is its own world out in the Indian Wells Valley, a desert city built around the Navy's China Lake weapons station, Cerro Coso College, and the people who keep the high desert running. It is more than two hours from the county seat, which is exactly why so many Ridgecrest families feel stuck when an arrest happens. We close that distance with a phone call.
Where Ridgecrest arrests are held
Arrests in the Ridgecrest area are processed at the Ridgecrest Substation, a small receiving facility on East Coso Avenue. When it is full or when someone is held past initial processing, they are transported to the Lerdo complex near Bakersfield. Because that transfer means hours on the road, posting bail quickly in Ridgecrest can make a real difference.
The Ridgecrest courthouse
Local cases are heard at the Ridgecrest Branch Court at 132 East Coso Avenue, just off North China Lake Boulevard. We confirm your court date and keep you on track from the first call through the case.
No-drive bail for the desert
You should not have to drive to Bakersfield to get a loved one home in Ridgecrest. We arrange the entire bond remotely, explain the cost and payment options up front, and post wherever your person is being held. Call any hour, and a licensed agent will pick up.
