Creola, Alabama
Creola is one of Mobile County's smallest cities — incorporated in 1978 with a current population of approximately 1,936. Located in north Mobile County, Creola borders Saraland to the southwest and Satsuma to the west. The city covers 16.65 square miles, giving it a low population density of approximately 123 residents per square mile.
The Creola Police Department is a small municipal force serving the city limits. All defendants arrested by Creola PD are processed locally before transfer to Mobile County Metro Jail in downtown Mobile.
Despite its small size, Creola residents and their families face the same bail bond process as any other Mobile County city. M&J Bail Bonds handles Creola arrests 24/7 — call us immediately after any arrest.
A bail bond in Creola costs exactly 10% of the bail amount set by the court — fixed by Alabama law under Ala. Code § 12-19-311 — Alabama's bail bond fee law.

Call (833) MNJ-BAIL or (251) 421-1834. Give us the full name and date of birth — we track the booking record through both the Creola and Mobile County systems and have the bond ready the moment the defendant reaches Metro Jail.
Creola PD Jail & Mobile County Metro Jail
Creola arrests touch two facilities: the Creola Police Department on Dead Lake Road for initial processing, and Mobile County Metro Jail for full booking, bail, and release. Longer-term sentences are served at Metro Jail or state prison — not the city facility.
Official SourcesCreola Police Department
190-A Dead Lake Road, Creola, AL 36525. Phone: (251) 675-8145. A small municipal force responsible for law enforcement within Creola city limits. Chief of Police: Harold D. Kirkland (per most recent available data).
Mobile County Metro Jail
450 St. Emanuel Street, Mobile, AL 36603. Inmate info: (251) 574-6412 · mobileso.com. Booking 24/7. Operated by the Mobile County Sheriff's Office, 510 South Royal Street, Mobile, AL 36603.
Release Timeline
After M&J posts the bond at Metro Jail, release processing typically takes 2–6 hours. Total time from a Creola arrest to release is commonly 10–16 hours. Call M&J immediately after arrest — every hour matters.
Finding A Creola Inmate
Call Creola PD at (251) 675-8145 for initial holds. After transfer, check mobileso.com — Mobile County's official inmate search. Or call M&J Bail Bonds at (833) MNJ-BAIL — we check both facilities for you immediately.
Mobile County Sheriff's Office — mobileso.com inmate search →
Where Bail Is Set
Bail is set at Mobile County Metro Jail after booking is complete — not at the Creola Police Department. Misdemeanor bail follows the county schedule. Felony bail is set by a Circuit Court judge at arraignment. If you cannot locate your loved one at Metro Jail right after a Creola arrest, they may still be in initial processing or in transit — call us and we will tell you exactly where they are.

License Suspensions & State Fees
License suspensions are administered by the Alabama State Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) — view official license suspension information →. First and second offenses also carry a $100 Impaired Drivers Trust Fund fee (§ 32-5A-191.2).
Court Dates & Case Records
Mobile County court information is published through the 13th Judicial Circuit at mobile.alacourt.gov, and statewide case and court-date lookups run through alacourt.gov.
Missing a court date in the 13th Circuit means a bench warrant and bond forfeiture. Call us before a date is missed — it is far easier to fix in advance.
Payment Plans For Creola Families
Many Creola families do not have the full 10% premium available upfront — that is completely normal. We offer monthly installment plans, co-signer arrangements, and collateral options on larger bonds, with options as low as 1% down for qualifying families.
Accepted: Visa, Mastercard, Amex, ACH, Zelle, and cash. Mobile agents come to you if needed. See /alabama/payment-plan-bail-bonds/ and /alabama/no-collateral-bail-bonds/.

What Does A Bail Bond Cost After A Creola Arrest?
Alabama law (Ala. Code § 12-19-311) fixes the bail bond premium at exactly 10% of the bail amount — the same rate across all of Mobile County. No exceptions.
Charge Level
Avg Bail Range
Your Cost (10%)
01Misdemeanor, petty theft, simple assault
Bail: $500 – $2,500
Your cost: $50 – $250
02DUI, drug possession
Bail: $2,500 – $10,000
Your cost: $250 – $1,000
03Felony drug charges
Bail: $10,000 – $25,000
Your cost: $1,000 – $2,500
04Felony assault, trafficking
Bail: $25,000 – $75,000
Your cost: $2,500 – $7,500
05Serious violent felony
Bail: $75,000+
Your cost: $7,500+
How The Math Works
Bail is $10,000. Alabama's regulated premium is 10%, so your cost is $1,000 plus state administrative fees. M&J posts the full $10,000 with the court. The premium is earned and non-refundable once the bond is posted — that is state law, not our policy.
Read the statute: Ala. Code § 12-19-311
10%State-Set Premium
Premium rate verified by FindLaw →
Alabama state administrative fees are added on top of the 10% premium under Ala. Code § 12-19-311 (verified by FindLaw at codes.findlaw.com). M&J discloses the exact total — premium plus state fees — before you sign anything. Ranges are illustrative only and are not a quote or promise of bail.

Payment Plans
For Real Families
Most families don't have the full 10% premium sitting in a checking account — and that is completely normal. M&J Bail Bonds offers flexible payment arrangements tailored to your financial situation so cost is never the reason your loved one stays in jail longer than necessary.
Payment Plans
We work with you on a payment schedule for the premium. Ask our agents about monthly payment arrangements when you call. No two situations are the same — we will find something that works for your family.
Collateral Options
Depending on the bond amount, collateral may or may not be required. Many DUI bonds — especially first and second offenses — do not require collateral at all. Ask us about your specific situation.
Multiple Payment Methods
We accept Visa, Mastercard, Amex, ACH / bank transfer, Zelle, and cash. Ask about which methods work best for your payment plan arrangement.
Important
The 10% premium is non-refundable under Alabama law — it is earned the moment the bond is posted, regardless of how the case resolves, even if charges are dropped. This is not M&J policy — it is Alabama state law (Ala. Code § 12-19-311). Our agents will explain this fully before you sign anything.

Start Bail ApplicationBail Eligibility
Who Qualifies For Bail After A Creola Arrest?
Most people arrested in Creola are bailable. Alabama's constitution guarantees bail in most cases — but Aniah's Law created an exception for certain violent offenses, and federal cases follow a different process.
Misdemeanor Arrests — Almost Always Bailable
The county bail schedule applies, so no judge is required. DUI, simple assault, and misdemeanor possession all fall here, and release is often same-day once bail is set at Metro Jail.
- County schedule — no court appearance needed
- Bond can be posted 24 hours a day at Metro Jail
- See /alabama/misdemeanor-bail-bonds/
Authority
Mobile County bail schedule
Felony Arrests — Usually Bailable
A Circuit Court judge sets bail at arraignment. Drug charges and property crime bonds are among the most common felony requests M&J handles from Creola.
- Bail set by a 13th Circuit judge
- Preliminary hearing in District Court confirms probable cause
- See /alabama/felony-bail-bonds/
Authority
13th Judicial Circuit — Mobile County
Aniah's Law Charges — Bail May Be Denied
For murder, robbery 1st, burglary 1st, and drug trafficking, a judge CAN deny bail after an Aniah hearing. Call M&J immediately — we check Aniah status in real time.
- Applies only to enumerated violent felonies
- Requires a hearing; denial is not automatic
- We post the moment a judge grants bail
Authority
Ala. Const. Art. I § 16, am. 2022 (Aniah's Law)
Domestic Violence Holds — 12-Hour Mandatory Wait
Alabama law requires a mandatory 12-hour hold on domestic violence arrests before bail can be posted, common in Creola's small residential community.
- 12-hour hold applies statewide
- No-contact orders are standard
- We track the release window and post as soon as it opens
Authority
Alabama domestic violence bail statute
Who Usually Qualifies
Usually released same day: misdemeanors, first-offense DUI, and simple possession booked into Metro Jail after Creola processing.
Who Doesn't Qualify Automatically
Not automatic: Aniah's Law felonies, outstanding bench warrants, probation holds, and domestic violence 12-hour holds. Call us and we will monitor the docket.

Most Common Charges
In Creola, Alabama
Creola's small population and rural north county setting shape its arrest patterns — DUI along US-43 and I-65, domestic violence in its tight residential community, and drug charges tied to the north county corridor. Crime statistics are drawn from published FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data and analyses of that data; this is general information only, not legal advice, and every bail amount depends on case facts, criminal history, and judicial discretion.
