About Bell Gardens Bail Bonds Services
Bell Gardens is marked by the largest card casino and gaming destination in the immediate Los Angeles area. There are several cities that offer poker playing as a recreational diversion, but none quite as built up as the Bicycle Club in Bell Gardens, CA. In fact, Bell Gardens is notable for being one of only six Los Angeles County cities to permit casino gambling and for being home of the oldest building in Los Angeles County.
The City of Bell Gardens has had ups and downs due to its involvement with gaming, but it remains a place to live for a considerable number of working folks. In 2019, the city had an estimated population of 42,012. Bell Gardens is known for being a part of the Gateway Cities Region, a largely urbanized region located in southeastern Los Angeles County.
The city is named after James George Bell, an American businessman. The “Gardens” in its name derives from the many Japanese who, early in Bell Gardens’ existence, established vegetable gardens and rice fields.
Currently, Bell Gardens, CA is also well known for the Bicycle Hotel & Casino, DEL Records, and Pioneer Chicken. Previously, an official annual city beauty pageant was held in the city from 1947 to 2015. The oldest building per documented construction date in the Los Angeles Area is the Gage Mansion in Bell Gardens. The estate was originally Casa de Rancho San Antonio (the Henry Gage Mansion) and documents prove it was under construction in 1795. This was part of the Southern California history that upsets the natives who feel that Olvera Street in Los Angeles features the oldest known house.
Historians have been able to prove through meticulous record analysis that the house that eventually became Henry Gage’s home originated 20 years before the more celebrated Avila Adobe of 1818. The Gage House is now a State historical landmark.
Unfortunately, there weren’t any crime rates in Bell Gardens, CA available to share, yet that doesn’t mean crime doesn’t occur in the city—especially domestic violence cases and DUIs. So, if you or someone you know has been arrested in Bell Gardens, CA, call Mr. Nice Guy Bail Bonds for immediate assistance from a skilled, licensed bail agent: 1-844-400-2245.
After an Arrest Occurs in Bell Gardens

It’s important to know that the police department is equipped with the latest technology in vehicle identification, the Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR). Trained police officers verify ALPR responses retrieved from a statewide database of stolen vehicles, vehicles that were driven by suspended license drivers, and vehicles with outstanding traffic warrants or running violations. The vehicle mounted ALPR system has the top capacity to scan 50 vehicle plates per minute. Back in the 1920s, there probably weren’t fifty vehicles within miles of one another. Now it isn’t difficult for them to drive through a row in a large parking lot and read hundreds of license plates in a single pass.

Bell Gardens Bail Facts
Bail in Bell Gardens, CA is a fixed sum of money that is assigned according to the arrest charges of an individual. If the sum of bail is provided by an individual or a family member or associate, the individual is released to conduct their personal business, continue work, seek legal advice, and go on with life while agreeing to comply with the court’s requirements.
Bail amounts are contingent upon the misdemeanor or felony nature of the charge, any warrants that may exist on the person's record or any previous arrests and convictions of the same time. Bail bonds in Bell Gardens, CA, like the ones provided by Mr. Nice Guy Bail Bonds, offer you a lower capital outlay option. Bail bonds are usually a percentage of the bail with variable rates for producing the bail bond and variable charges.
For example, bailing someone out who has been arrested for domestic violence (a common charge, at the moment) in Bell Gardens, CA would look like this:
- $10,000 for misdemeanor
- $50,000 for felony
At Mr. Nice Guy Bail Bonds, we typically charge 7% on domestic violence cases. We also offer discounts, payment plans, and myriad of payment options, including: major credit cards, debit cards, PayPal, Venmo, cash, wire transfers, Zelle, Bitcoin, and other cryptocurrencies. You can pay for bail bonds online or over the phone.
In case you didn’t already know, bail in Bell Gardens, CA is a right—for everyone!
Bail is a right that is older than the US Constitution and has its own stated part within the 8th Amendment. In the past, it was designed to permit a person's freedom while the community waited for a magistrate or official to hear the case and decide upon the appropriate punishment or fines. This permitted the individual to at least secure personal obligations while waiting for the trial and sentence. In modern times, the delays in this process come from overloaded courts and not from waiting for legal authority to be available to preside over the case.
While a case awaits legal disposition (completion by trial verdict or plea deal or dismissal), the bail or bail bond is held. The monies are returned upon fulfillment of the legal obligations. Knowing that it could reasonably take months or longer for a court date, meaning you or a loved one could be stuck waiting in jail, it makes sense to pursue bail.
Remember, if you can’t afford the bail that is set on your own, then call Mr. Nice Guy Bail Bonds in Bell Gardens, CA at 1-844-400-2245 for an immediate consultation about bail bond options.
Domestic Violence in Bell Gardens
PC 273.5 says that it is illegal to inflict “corporal punishment” that results in an injury, no matter how slight. That means if you strike another person who is, or was, an intimate partner, and leave a mark, you have violated PC 273.5 and can be charged with domestic violence.
Corporal Injury Charges – PC 273.5
Corporal injury, or more specifically “corporal injury on a spouse or cohabitant,” is defined by California law as “willfully inflicting a physical injury that causes a 'traumatic condition' on an intimate partner.” Let's define a few of these terms, to understand better what could be considered corporal injury.
Who Qualifies as an Intimate Partner?
- A Spouse
- A Former Spouse
- A Cohabitant (someone you live with)
- A Former Cohabitant (someone you used to live with)
- A Boyfriend (including same-sex boyfriends)
- A Girlfriend (including same-sex girlfriends)
- A Fiancé
- A Former Fiancé
- The Parent of Your Child
In other words, anyone you have had a romantic or intimate relationship with, at any point, for any length of time, would be considered an intimate partner.
What is considered a “physical injury?”
Any injury that leaves a mark, such as a bruise or cut.
What is a Violation of PC 273.5?
Penal Code 273.5 reads: "(a) Any person who willfully inflicts corporal injury resulting in a traumatic condition upon a victim described in subdivision (b) is guilty of a felony, and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for two, three, or four years, or in a county jail for not more than one year, or by a fine of up to six thousand dollars ($6,000) or by both that fine and imprisonment. (b) Subdivision (a) shall apply if the victim is or was one or more of the following: (1) The offender's spouse or former spouse. (2) The offender's cohabitant or former cohabitant. (3) The offender's fiancé or fiancée, or someone with whom the offender has, or previously had, an engagement or dating relationship, as defined in paragraph (10) of subdivision (f) of Section 243. (4) The mother or father of the offender's child.”
Assault and Battery Charges in Bell Gardens
Assault and battery are often used together, which might lead you to think that the two charges are the same, or, at least, two parts of a single charge. But, the truth is much more complicated than that. While the two are related, and you could be charged with both, they are two distinct and separate crimes.
Battery Charges – PC 242
Battery is defined as the willful, unlawful use of force against another person. This is a violation of Penal Code 242 and must have three separate elements:
- The act must be willful and unlawful
- Force or violence is used
- The willful use of violence or force is used against another person.
In other words, you have to intend to use force or violence, it has to involve another person, but it doesn't have to actually cause any damage, injury, or harm. In fact, you don't even have to touch the body of the other person, in order to be guilty of battery. If you touch anything that is “intimately connected” to the other person, like their clothing or something they are holding, in a disrespectful or rude way, you could be charged with battery.
