Coconino County DUI Bail Guide

Being booked in Page instead of Flagstaff changes everything about how fast you can get out. Page only has a 24-bed short-term holding facility; if you're not released quickly, you're transferred over two hours away to the main jail in Flagstaff.

Where You're Booked

Flagstaff Police, the Sheriff's Office, DPS, and NAU Police all book arrests at the Coconino County Detention Facility, 951 E. Sawmill Road, Flagstaff, (928) 226-5200. Peak periods like homecoming weekends or winter storms can push the intake line to 6-12 hours before someone's even eligible for bail. There's no inmate list posted online; you check status by calling and working through a phone menu.

Posting Bail

Misdemeanor DUI bond generally runs $500 to $1,500, with a first offense often around $500. Felony or aggravated DUI bonds are set individually by a judge at the initial appearance, which happens every day, including weekends and holidays, and can run $2,500 to $10,000 or more.

Some bonds are marked "cash only," meaning a bail bond agent's surety bond won't be accepted at all; this designation shows up more often for out-of-state defendants or anyone with a prior failure to appear. The jail lobby has a kiosk for depositing bail funds, but it's known for high transaction fees and low limits, sometimes rejecting or flagging large single deposits.

One more practical warning: park carefully near the Flagstaff facility while you're there posting bail. It sits near downtown and the university, where parking enforcement is strict, and a family member's car getting towed while they're inside dealing with a release only adds to the crisis.
