Party Arrests · DUI · Drug Charges · Sex Crime AccusationsThe Claremont Colleges, Cal Poly Pomona, and Chaffey College sit in one of the most concentrated college corridors in California.

What Happened Before He Could Tell His Own Family
A 22-year-old from Chino Hills was accused of rape at a party near the Claremont Colleges. His bail was set at $100,000. Before his parents even knew he had been arrested — before he had a chance to call anyone himself — a bail bond company that had purchased his arrest data was already calling. They called his parents. They called his grandparents. They called his uncles. They called his brothers. Every call started the same way: 'Your son is in jail for rape.'
His family panicked. They bonded him out through that company — because they were terrified and someone was on the phone telling them what to do. He got out of jail and discovered that the bond company had already told his entire extended family what the charge was before he could say a single word in his own defense.
He was innocent until proven guilty. The arrest was not a conviction. But the damage to his family relationships was done before he ever walked out of West Valley Detention Center.
Chad does not buy arrest data. He does not cold-call families. If you call him, it is because you chose to — not because he found your name in a database and decided your family needed to know.
The Most Common College Arrest Charges in This Corridor
DUI — 57 and 71 Freeways
$5,000 – $100,000The 57 and 71 freeways run directly through the college corridor. Late-night DUI checkpoints on Foothill Blvd, Garey Ave, and the freeway on-ramps catch students regularly. First-offense DUI bail is typically $5,000–$15,000. Injury DUI can reach $100,000.
Drug Possession and Sales
$10,000 – $100,000HS 11350 (possession) and HS 11351 (possession for sale) are the most common drug charges near college campuses. Marijuana is legal but sales without a license are still a crime. MDMA, cocaine, and prescription pills at parties trigger felony charges.
Sexual Assault — Party Arrests
$100,000 – $1,000,000+PC 261 rape and PC 243.4 sexual battery charges arising from party incidents are among the most serious and most common college-adjacent arrests. Bail is high. The college kid story above is not unusual — it happens regularly in this corridor.
Statutory Rape — PC 261.5
$25,000 – $100,000PC 261.5 charges arise when one party is under 18. In a college corridor where high school students attend parties with college students, this charge appears more often than families expect. A 19-year-old and a 17-year-old is a felony in California.
Assault and Battery — Party Fights
$10,000 – $50,000PC 242 battery and PC 245 assault with a deadly weapon charges from party altercations. When alcohol is involved and injuries occur, what started as a fight becomes a felony arrest.
Vandalism and Trespassing
$5,000 – $25,000PC 594 vandalism over $400 is a felony. Campus-adjacent trespassing and property damage arrests are common during end-of-semester events and Greek life activities.
When the Family Is Out of State
Harvey Mudd, Claremont McKenna, and Pomona College draw students from across the country. When a student is arrested at 2 AM on a Friday, the parents may be in New York, Texas, or Illinois. Chad handles this situation regularly.
Chad can take the call from anywhere
You do not need to be in California to start the process. Chad can take your information, explain the bail amount and conditions, and begin the paperwork over the phone. A local cosigner is preferred for large bonds but not always required.
Electronic signatures are accepted
Bail bond paperwork can be signed electronically. You do not need to be physically present at WVDC to post bail for a student in the Claremont corridor.
Chad will not call your family first
Chad does not purchase arrest data. He will not call your student's roommates, professors, or other family members before you do. If you call him, it is because you chose to.
Collateral options for out-of-state families
For large bonds, Chad can work with property equity in other states. The process takes longer but it is possible. Chad will tell you exactly what is needed and what the timeline looks like.
